  1. Hello, I am 9 days post-op, and my first time posting...I have a Vitamin & Protein question...Does anyone else have problems taking Vitamins? I purchased Journey Bariatric and Opurity vitamins before surgery, both because they were manufactured for peeps like us. However, I am having a hard time getting them down...the Journey vits are six chewable multi and 4 Calcium (gag!) and the Opurity are 1 multi & 4 calcium (better but still a lot). There has got to be something better, HELP?! Also, being only 9 days out I am having a hard time getting 60 grams (surgeon recommendation) of protein...anyone else have this problem as well? I am trying...just need some words of encouragement!

    Vitamins & Protein?!

    Thanks, Jendroppinglbs! I will check into those. I was drinking the Isopure drinks right after surgery which as 40 grams per 20 oz bottle, but tastes horrible. I will look into your suggestion and give it a try, thank you sooo much!!!

    Vitamins & Protein?!

    Okay, I will have to check that out! Three pills are way better than five...the ones I am chewing are okay, but they are quite large and seem like a meal all on their own. I have been using the Unflavored and chocolate flavored Protein from unjury (my fave so far of the brands we have tried). It just seems like a lot to get down in addition to the Water, I am hoping with time it gets easier!!! Thanks for the tips! ????

    Vitamins & Protein?!

    Thank you so much for the advice and words of encouragement...as my tummy can tolerate more I will definitely experiment some more with shakes. I will look into ordering some samples as well. Thanks again!
