Liquid vitamins - HELP

Hi All!

I am getting ready for my post op! Can you give me some advice about liquid vitamins - brands, comments and where to find them?

Thanks

Hi Kim!

The 1 liquid vitamin that I took was B-complex and I found it at GNC. Everything else I take and have taken from the beginning has been chewable and they have stayed down fine. I take the Caltrate chewable +Vitamin D (fruit flavors and they taste good), Centrum Multi Vitamin Chewable (Orange Flavor is the best) and now I take swallowable B-complex, B-12 and Prilosec (per Dr Giovanni).

Hope this helps!

Hi Kim! I havent taken the liquid vitamins, but during the pre-op I did the flintstones with iron and the viactiv thinking I would continue them after surgery. However, post op i couldnt seem to stand the flintstones and the viactiv just wouldnt go down for me so I changed over to the Optisource that they sell in Dr Pohls office. You take 4 of them a day, they are chewable and taste like an orange creamsicle and take the place of the others. I also take a prescription (ameprazole-like Previcid) that Dr Pohl prescribed in the hospital and a super b Complex that I picked up at Walmart. I'm able to take pills without a problem.  If you want, I have flintstones and viactivs you can have, that way if you cant handle them you're not out any money. I can also give you a few optisource to try if you'd like. Just let me know! Hows the liquid diet going??

Hi Angela!

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the info - I have the flintstones in the house - my younger son takes them so I am all set on those!

The liquid diet is okay now - at first the milk was bothering me so now I am taking lactous tablets and I am okay with it! I just can't wait for the 9th!

Soon to be "L'l Kim"!

If you think you'll be up to it, I'd love to come see you at the hospital, perhaps on Friday?

Angela!

It would be nice to finally meet you in person! I have no problem with you visiting me there!
