There's a packet of powder you mix with a glass of Water that just has Vitamin C (which often can prevent colds) in it but the same company now also offers multi Vitamin or other supplements in the same packet of powder form.

Plus...in the same form (packet of powder, mix with water and drink), there's a packet designed by a school teacher for this exact purpose! It's called AirBorne. Google it! You can get lemonade flavored packets measured to mix with a small bottled water for convenience.

1 Airborne Packet equals:

1,000 mg of Vitamin C

High in Antioxidants (Vitamins A,C, and E)

Excellent Source of Zinc and Selenium

350 mg of Herbal Blend including Echinacea and Ginger

Good luck!

I think that those bubbles devolve the Vitamins but after sitting for a minute they are all gone. Swansons vitamins online also offer a bariatric line of liquid and chewables. Their other chewables are good too. Reasonable priced at top quality. I'd suggest some coq10 also.

If you let carbonated drinks sit out, they lose most of the carbonation.

Me too! Got my band in June, I've had strep, pneumonia and recently the shingles! But same as you I shipped my vitimans too, and every time I get the horrible pain in my arm from the shingles, I regret not taking them! So I've started taking them again!

Someone recently told me that Amway now offers some liquid vitamins. They come in a little plastic vial you snaps spout into a glass of Water. Has anyone tried them?

Argh...I wish I could edit a post if I spot typos after it's posted. Oh well :-)

Should have been, "They come in a little plastic vial you snap open into a glass of water."

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
