Duodenal Switch Friendly Recipes
Vitamin Shake
I've been having trouble taking my vitamins recently because the chewables have such a strong flavor... then it occurred to me to turn them into a drink. This is what I've been doing...
Add vitamins to blender - I have one of those little magic bullets and it works great!
add 3 multi's (ADEK tropical tablet from Bariatric Advantage)
vit D
calcium (cinnamon tablet from Bariatric Advantage)
Biotin
plus whatever other supplements I want to add
Pulverize in blender
Add about 4 tablespoons half and half and mix.
The flavor is quite pleasant and I'm able to get a whole lot of vitamins down all in one go! (well... four or five swallows)
Thanks! Now I just need to practice a little discipline and do it regularly. I'm trying to do it right when I get home before doing anything else, right in that window between getting home and changing out of work clothes and figuring out what I want to have for dinner. If I can get it down right after I get home from work, it has a chance to move through my stomach by the time I've got dinner ready. But, it is a really effective way to get a lot of things down quickly.
I was really surprised that OH doesn't have a dedicated page for recipes. It's awesome that you are trying to create a central location.

I've made another adjustment in how I'm doing this. I pulverized vitamins for a set # of days (so I wouldn't have to do it every day), mixing them all up together. And, instead of mixing them with half and half after pulverizing them, I'm letting it stay as a powder to be added to a liquid when I get ready to take them. Working pretty good so far and I can switch up what type of liquid I add them to.
