Centrum (I think I spelled that right) has a chewable. Go to CVS or Walgreens. You should find it there.

I use Centrum also...any advice for Vitamin d3? My dr. Said I'm low and recommended taking 2000 itl of vitamin d3....is there a liquid? Would soft gels work? Or is it something I can just crush? Thanks for any advice

There are also chewable Calcium pills. You all can go to the pharmacist at the drug store and they can provide you with the information. I wish I could remember the name of the chewable one. But they are awesome, so use them.

I take Natures Bounty 5000 iu daily. My levels are low when I don't take them and ok when I do take them. So I'm going to stay on them ????

@@mercy96 I crush my Vitamins and mix it with yogurt. My doc said I could crush them.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and couldn't swallow pills...my mom would crush them and put in jelly

I found everything at Walmart today except thiamin. I got Centrum chewable... But my NUT says crushing is fine just remember the days you are in clear and light fluids not sure how to take it crushed without a little yogurt or something.

I got the liquid Calcium called "wellessee" at wal mart and it includes the d3 so I will use that at least the first 4-6 weeks. I also found liquid B12 sublingual ..at Walmart

My dr doesn't want me to take the liquid MULTI I found specific to bariatric patients she says they font have enough of some things and other additives she doesn't like. But I may take them just the first week to get Vitamins in because it just a liquid and it has Calcium and Protein in it too.. Found those on (celebrate vitamins) they call it ENS I think.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
