I hear ya, Beth!!! That seemed to be the focus of Nicole's meeting the other night - how we KNOW what to do, but seem to want to sabotage ourselves by doing the exact opposite!! It's frustrating to know that you've been given this WONDERFUL tool, and yet our minds seem to constantly conflict with our bodies.
Hope you can make the next meeting - it's May 27 (right after Memorial Day).

Yesterday....
B - Yogurt
S - Cheese Stick
L - Healthy Choice Soup
S - Saltines, Slice of cheese
D - 1.5 oz ground beef w/Calif blend seasoning
Half my vits, half my liquids, 53 g protein
Gotta get better on the vits, NUT says to try liquid so I guess I am going to try to find the liquid centrum, and buy the bariatic advantage calcium, but now I will also need to find an iron pill... Ugh - if only I could get over the texture of the chewable multi's and just eat the bariatric fusion!
Any suggestions on a chewable that doesn't feel like sand in my mouth? (I have tried celebrate and bariatric advantage)
On a happy note, I am cleared for raw veggies and salad as of tomorrow - now I have to work on getting up the nerve!

Angie -
It sounds as if, as is normal, your sense of taste/smell, texture has changed. It did for me, too, and I just couldn't stand the grit of the chewable vits. However, I have to say that the smell/taste of the liquid Centrum was FAR worse - just opening the bottle made me want to retch!!!
When can you swallow vitamins? Provided they're not capsules, you SHOULD be able to cut them up in small enough pieces to swallow, but if you're not sure, call your doctor.
You'll get past this period, I promise.

They told me six months... ugh!
I just don't know what to try... I really really liked the idea of the bariatric fusion having all in one, so I just chew it up four times a day - but I am constantly dreading it so bad, I don't end up taking all of them. If they weren't so big, maybe I could get it in..
Plus they turn black after I eat them when I brush my teeth... LOL TMI, but I can only see the black when I spit, I thought it was because they are berry, but the orange ones do it too. The iron mixing with flouride or something? Idk...
What did you use until you could take normal vits? I swallow my other pills - but vits are huge :(
I have forced down 3 of the 4 today, maybe I should just get over it and force them down as often as I can... I always get at least 2 a day - morning I force myself when I get in the shower, at least once I am in there I can't easily spit it out! Plus the reward for getting it chewed up and swallowed when I get out of the shower is to brush my teeth again... *grins*
I have become a compulsive toothbrusher - since surgery I keep feeling like a film on my teeth that drives me batty - they think I am crazy at work carrying around my toothbrush daily!
