Has anyone tried the Viactiv calcium chews vs. Calcium tablets??:thumbup:

Hey I am about a month post surgery and have been told to crush my meds for 3 months!!! :thumbs_down:They are very difficult to get down and upset my stomach for hours after I take them.....has anyone just scored theirs into small pieces to get them down instead of crushing them????:smile:

Hello everyone I am working on getting everything down but it's kinda hard to do it all. I was banded on Sept. 8th and the first day I sipped too much out of a straw along with my pain meds tablets and I vomited everywhere, so later I figured out that I should have been sipping out of a spoon. When I tried that it made my life so much better because I was able to keep my meds down after I crushed them. I have been doing only 600 mg instead of the 1200 but I working on getting the whole amount in one day. I also have been doing the flinestone Vitamin once aday but I need to it twice but I'm working on it. Now about the Protein shake I have not been getting what I need everyday. I've been doing the slimfast shake because thats the only one I can tolerate but that is only giving me 10 grams of Protein. I've been doing the small oz of meat that equals 7 more grams of protein but I am stil not getting what I need. So does everyone have any suggestions what Protein Shake taste good enough to drink because so far I am way behind. Help Help!!!

I was banded on Aug 20th and I have found that the whey Protein shakes from GNC taste pretty good but you can also try some Almond Milk or vanilla Milk which helps.

Nope didn't cheat on the liquids but I got banded on Aug 20th and am on puree and soft foods, haven't been so complaint with those!!! But have heard horror stories of people who have had slippage!!!Keep your head up and comply, comply comply!!!
