I have surgery the same day. I bought woman's mega liquid vitamins from GNC along with a liquid B12 and a dissolvable bitotin that goes under your tongue. And a chewable Vitamin D from the Unjury site advertised on here. Hope that helps.

Is it an adult flinstone chewable or the kids one?

Regular Kids Chewable - just that I take 2 per day

Are they nasty? Lol... I have a weak stomach an in a little worried about throwing up. Does it have that chalky feel on your teeth an in ur mouth?

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 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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
