I take the celebrate vitamins and I love them all! The multi I use is chewable in the grape flavor and very yummy. I look forward to taking my vitamins everyday! I take the calcium that you swallow. It's a little large but if I end up having a problem swallowing it I cut it in half with a pill cutter. I also have the chewable calcium that I don't care for. It's too chalky for me and I have a hard time getting it down. The iron is small enough that I can swallow it easily. I've added vitamin D too and it's the type that melts and it doesn't taste bad at all either.

Biotin doesn't prevent the hair loss, but it helps with new hair growth. I lost lots of hair and there really isn't anything you can do about it but take your vitamins and biotin to help new hair grow.

Push through! Trust me it gets better! When you get to the purée phase you will see that it was all worth it and it gets SO much better. I had the head hunger bad for the 1st 2 weeks.

I had pain on my left side too from the incision. I don't remember my back hurting though, but I did have a lot of trapped gas too and that was more painful than my incision.

My fitness pal. You can set reminders to notify you when to eat. This helps me even still since I don't ever feel hungry.

GasX strips helped me! They dissolve on your tongue.

Head hunger... It's a booger! It was really bad for me when I smelt food cooking. But it gets better and easier! You will get through it it will all be worth it.

I found that when I wasn't losing the weight I was losing the inches! 25 lbs in 4 weeks is awesome!

I had the same issue when I had my surgery last May. That is incision where to put the biggest tool so it's going to be sore. I had to hold that side for a while when walking around. It's been 20 months and I still get sore there and pull that muscle easily. It took longer to heal too.

I love premier protein but it took me a while after my surgery to be able to drink them again. It just didn't taste the same. I also make my own protein shake. 6oz of all egg whites (by them in the egg section in a small carton) 6oz of Mootopia skim milk (at HEB. If you don't have an HEB, any skim milk will do) and 2 Tblsp of chocolate nestle powder no sugar added. It's approx 30 grams of protein. You can't taste the egg. It tasks just like chocolate milk.
