Vitamins and Protein

I could not, once I was banded, eat those nasty vitamins that were recommended by my nut. Today I went directly to a vitamin store and purchased Natural Vitality Optimum Liquid Vitamins. I tried my first dose and they're so much better! Although expensive, they are worth not having to chew vitamins.

I also bought organic hemp protein in tropical flavor. Has anyone tried the protein that you just add to juice? I could not take another thick gross protein shake. Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has tried either liquid vitamins or the protein for juice.

I bought those same liquid vitamins yesterday and started taking them this morning. It was so much easier than the chewable vitamins. :)

hi - I already sort of answered in the other topic - but let me know how the organic hemp protein is!! The stuff I'm using is whey protein so it tends to have an almost milky flavour... but as I said thankfully not that thick yucky stuff - ugh. I had some of those pre-op shakes left, and haven't been able to touch them.

let me know how the protein stuff is?

I can't take the liquid vitamins, don't like the taste. I take gummies. They for me are much better. (But to each his/her own)! Glad you fund something you like. Karen

The hemp protein was so gross!! Would not recommend that at all. my nutritionist suggested a whey protein that I can add to soup or juice or anything I happen to be eating our drinking. Does anyone know of a good one?

To me the gummy ones have a lot of sugar. Has anyone found some that have less than 3g per serving?
