    I think having the WLS requires me to take a good vitamin and I won't skimp because of cost. I have a friend who is a compound pharmacist and one other person who recommended Source of Life Liquid Gol

I saw the liquid multi vitamin in gnc to. Did u try it yet? I was thinking of getting to put in the shakes. As for the b12, my dr called me in a b12 nasal spray that is for weekly use.

Is it an adult flinstone chewable or the kids one?

Regular Kids Chewable - just that I take 2 per day

They are a litle sweet / funky tasting but inexpensive - once you get used to them they are not bad and it's just a few seconds each day.

These were ok'd & recomended by my NUT. She said I could buy more expensive ones but that they have the same Vitamins and minerals in them.

Besides the flinstone did you have to take any other supplements with it?

I have surgery on June 3rd as well!! My doc said I could use Centrum Chewables.

I think having the WLS requires me to take a good vitamin and I won't skimp because of cost. I have a friend who is a compound pharmacist and one other person who recommended Source of Life Liquid Gold. One bottle (huge), lasted me ?4 months. It cost me $52 but is about $40 on Vitacost with free shipping. My bloodwork (labs) has been excellent. Please make sure you take excellent vitamins whatever you choose. Also I have taken the Biotin religiously, and at 5 and 6 months post sleeve my hair is still coming out in handfuls. Best of luck everyone!

I have surgery on the 28th. Just had my last console. All they care about for the first month is that I sip water. Eating and vitimins are optional. Yes, you want to do those things but healing and not throwing up are the most important. As my nut said 30 days with just staying hydrated wont hurt you.
