Protein and Vitamins usually boil to quality and tolerance.

I LIke RTD protein like premier and EAS mainly because i can still stomach them

Many people only use bariatric vitamins and thats worth looking into, i use sams club or equate brands that boasts of being compared national brands because they cost less

Safe journey!

I was told to get my Protein from food sources but starting out I wasn't using any powders. I was drinking Protein Shakes.

As for Vitamins, I went from taking some bariatric Multivitamin that I checked out upon recommendation, Bariatric Fusion, I believe. They were okay at first but then the chalkiness just made it gross and I could taste the vitamins in the Vitamin. I bought a big bottle off Amazon. They were chewables.< br>
Now I switched to gummies. I love those way more. They're by Vitafusion, you can buy those at Walmart, Amazon and Rite Aid. Walmart is the best bet when it comes to value though. At least to me. I take my vitamins in either pill form, by shot or the gummies.

Might want to start off with chewable vitamins and go from there since you'll be just starting out. Not sure if they'd let you take gummies so soon.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
