I just came back from The Vitamin Shop

I loved it
They have chewable and liquid ever thing. And  a lot of different proteins.
I am trying the Pineapple Orange Banana Isopure Clear Liquid RTD. 20 oz 40 gs of protein.

I'm back....  Well, did you like the taste of the Pineapple stuff?  It's funny, but like everyone says, your tastes may change after surgery.  I didn't really think mine would, but they have.  I'm back to trying stuff again, so don't buy too much stuff.

It was kind of weak I would like more flavor tasted  like watered down juice. but tolerable.

I got a fruit punch flavor one too, I will try that tomorrow.

I was looking for clear liquid ones that may not be as heavy as the powder protein mix, In case they are too heavy. They had Nectar there too 34.00 for the giant tub. lemon aid, cherry, tropical, and some other flavors, And about 15 other types of powder protein.

Then they had premixed ones like Muscle milk and a ton more I can't remember all of them,

And they had almost all the vitamins we need in either a chewable or liquid, and some in lozenges types.  The only thing they did not have was D3 50,000 iu, the highest they had was 5,000 iu.

Welcome BackHi Jani , welcome home we missed you!

Ok, gotcha.
I was going to ask if it was fruity or milky, but I think you answered that in your next post.

Did you go to Vit Shoppe in Westland?  I get everything there.  Some of the girls that work there are pretty clueless, so it helps if you know what you are looking for when you go in.

Yes the one across from the mall on warren

The girl I got was very nice and new what I was talking about. I was impressed.
I going to go there for my Vite's. as I run out of the ones I have. They do have a chewable Iron. but I don't know how they taste. NO free samples. lol I might just keep getting the Bariatric Advantage from HFH. Pharmacy.

2 more days.

One bit of advice...do not buy a whole lot of anything, or in big sizes until after your surgery. You just might find that texture and taste have changed.

Your little pouchy might give you clues as to what you will like also....
It can get preicey if you buy too much ahead of time, well, except maybe sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles...I still like them....

Yes I am going to replenish the supply I have been taking as I run out.
 I can't afford to replace everything at one time.
I refill a different vitamin about every other week. When they start to dwindle. then I am good for a week or so then the cycle starts all over.

thank you
