I use the Centrum Silver Chewables(because I'm over 50). Citrus berry flavor. I was told no capsules, as they don't dissolve as fast & the are usually timed released. And as far as Pasta, my dr says NO, as it can ball up like white bread can and cause a blockage. I'm not big on Pasta anyways so it doesn't bother me not eating that! I also take an Iron chewy bite once a day(chocolate raspberry) it's like eating chocolate. And I use B-12, 2 times a week & Citracal+D 2 times a day. I get the petite ones(smaller to swallow)! I get all my supplements at Walmart expect for the chewy bites(Bariatric Advantage), I get those at drs office. I am slowly getting off the meds I was on before surgery for diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid & pain meds for my knees. So happy I had the sleeve done!

And you can ask your pharmacy to order the Vitamins you would like...some will do that for you.

I misread that someone was eating pasta... I went back & reread the posts, it was the tofu Pasta

Someone told me to stop listening to everything the surgeon says as if he were a god...even if he sees himself that way. I'm questioning everything. Dumb people never heard of shriataki noodles (made from tofu) and even tho they permit tofu on the diet, they came down yelling NO NOODLES at me...for a lousy 20 calories! No fat. Sheeeeesh. Can't wait to take up with the nutritionist. See, I don't think its possible to eat this way for a whole 6 months to a year and then expect the body to adjust to eating healthy (fruits and all veggies) and continue to lose weight. I think that's a bunch of hoo-ha...designed to keep the Vitamin people in cadillacs.

Right,,,its tofu...has 20 calories in 4ounces...a gram of Protein and, like the oldtime ,'shmoos', can be flavored to taste like anything plus if u do like Pasta u could almost close your eyes and think u were eating it. BUT it aint pasta...u can get it in the health food store for 1.29a package. Requires parboiling as prep.

I am feeling like the other posters above.

The carbs from your Vitamins are the LEAST of your worries. I don't count carbs at all. I really stay away from bread, Pasta, rice. Other than that I get my Protein in and if you are really eating that much lean meat/real cheese/yogurt etc....you don't have to count carbs your smaller size pouch simply cannot hold much extra after all the Protein.< /p>

Good luck and stop stressing.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
