Vitamins

Do any of you use liquid vitamins? What kind is the best? Im just trying to get some of the things that i will need after the surgery, like vitamins, and i already bought Unjury so that I can take it when I get home. Any other things i should get before the surgery that were helpful to you? Thanks, Crista

You know I don't have a problem taking pills at all.  It works out great for me.  I take Centrum silver, because I am really old, and then vitamins B12, calicum and iron.  My one year blood work came back perfect.  I was lacking in nothing.  I started out on Flintstone chewables.  As far as liquid...I just don't think I would want to try that unless they were delicious. Good luck, Diane

Hi D, Quit saying you are old girl!!!! Love you, Jaime

yeah i bought some and realized it had 2 grams more of sugar than i can have, it didnt taste too bad..but i know that ur tastes change after surgery so im just taking those now...Thanks

I've used liquid vitamins since before I had surgery. I initially used one brand, but found their price of over $2 per day to be expensive. I looked around and found another liquid vitamin that has far more supplements, and costs half as much. I mention it on my profile page.  I had RNY surgery in May, 2006, and have taken my current liquid vitamin since September, 2007.  The dose is one ounce per day.  I compared the supplemental facts on this vitamins against others, and this was by far the best buy.  I also use a powdered calcium citrate, and found out you can buy in bulk from www.bulkfoods.com . One level tsp has 700 mg of calcium citrate.  Mix this amount with food or shakes 3 times daily, and you've got your daily allotment of calcium citrate.

I use liquid Centrum silver. It has more vitamins that I need than some of the others. I have no problems with swallowing pills. The reason I use liquid supplements or any of my RX's is the fact they absorb into the system faster and more completly.  If not liquid then injectable.

Thank you sooo much!! This has helped tremendously!!
