my nutritionist told me to take 2 of the kids flintstones chewables! also to take B12 and calcium citrate (so no viactiv). I'm looking for chewable b12 and Calcium right now...

You probably won't find chewable B12. You need to look for sublingal ones.

I take the Centrum chewables and 3 Calcium with D every day.

1st the Centrum and then I take the calcium mid-morning,mid-afternoon and in the evening. Everything is chewable.< /p>

Check out a cookbook called "The Sneaky Chef". I originally bought it to sneak veggies into my kids everyday meals and found that it has also been beneficial for me. Good luck!

you can also try juicing, or smoothies with veggies added--

lots of times, I chop veggies pretty small in a chopper before cooking, that helps me a lot

I take Centrum chewable, and I also take Viactive. My hair thinned noticably about 4 or 5 months after surgery. I think it's finally stopped-- I'm a little over a year out! I guess it's normal. The anethesia, plus the shock to your body of much less calories, etc. suddenly. Protein seemed to help-- sometimes if I wasn't getting enough, I'd add in a Protein shake for that day. Also, I have a whole bunch of new Hair growth now. Most of my hair seems to be coming back. So don't worry too much-- it'll come back!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
