I took gummies in the begining, but my nut said they didn't give me enough nutrients. So I went to BA multi. After a few weeks they began to make me sick, so at 4 weeks post-op I was able to swallow BIG pills and switched to Centrum. I have been taking them ever since!

hmmm Centrum doesnt sit well with me either. If my doctor feels like the gummies are really not good then i will ask about prenatal Vitamins I just had a baby 8 months ago and the ones i was on did not make me sick. Those prob have a lot of stuff in them???

Target has prenatal gummies that I take. My doc and nut said they were fine and my bloodwork has been fine, so why make myself sick. I eat two a day, plus sublingual B12 and Calcium. Has worked well for me. I could not stomach any of the chewable ones. I tried many types and spent lots of money before I switched to these.

Gummys apparently don't have I want to say Thiamine, so bear that in mind.

I have a big container I bought at Sam's Club before I knew what to look for. I plan on mixing them in over the next year so I take chewables recommended most of the time but use the Gummy ones maybe 40% of the time until they're gone. It's good to know I should be sure to have them on hand in case I can't tolerate the chewables at some point because I do agree they're certainly better than nothing.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
