There's a company that has Vitamins out that are in the form of a thinstrip (like breath strips). The initial taste is kind of vitaminy, but the aftertaste is mint, and since the aftertaste lasts longer, I can deal with that, lol.

I use a powder Vitamin by Reliv that has 7 grams of Protein. I put a cup of milk, a Protein Powder, and the Vitamins in the blender in the morning and figure I've got 35 (or more depending on the powder) grams of Protein down before 7am.

You have to get them through a distributor - I'm not one. If you want to see the products, go to www.reliv.com

I take "All One Powder", which is a multiple Vitamin mineral powder with a green phyto base. So I get vege's and Vitamins. It is a organic supplement and the "green" gives it the equivalent of 3 services of vege's. I mix it with 1/2 cup juice in the morning, and also add additional B12/Folic Acid (liquid) and Calcium/Magnesium (liquid), and a Biotin lozenge (for Hair loss prevention). Seems to be going good, I can actually feel the difference.

ReneBean -- Don't know where your at, I live in the Northwest which have Fred Meyers. I get it in the healthfood section, there. I've also seen it at Super supplements. Super supplements has a good selection of powders and liquids. I got the B12, Calcium and Biotin there.

At first I was so happy to find a liquid I got a multiple from costco, but after looking at the levels of Vitamins and minerals I wasn't impressed. So when I found the "All One" I was looking for specific levels of Vitamins and minerals. It does take a couple of days to overcome the color thing, doesn't taste but looks really yucky.

Ahhh. Fred Meyer. One of the very things I miss about the NW since I moved to TX. Oh Well. Is there a manufacturer or distributor on the label? Maybe I can find it on line....

Thanks!

I take the flintstones children's too, the taste is tolerable, though kinda sour and slightly vitaminy... Viactiv DEFINITELY tastes like candy, chewy and caramel like, not a Vitamin taste at all, I love those, but the kids vite's are better for me, so I stick with those since I don't eat quite right. I have substituted for a change up though, and will buy viactiv again

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
