PM'd you my addy... please feel free to swing by and visit whenever you are out my way!  *wink*

Is this the Omega-2 chewy bits from bariatric advantage you are talking about?  http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/categoryHandler?cat=Bariatric%20Advantage%20:%20Omega%203s%20:%20Chewy%20Bites&expand=1

How many of them do you need a day?  Can you expand upon the reason one should take an Omega-3 supplement?

You use the chewable calcium from celebrate, right?  How many of those little suckers do you get to munch on a day?  These, right?  

Anyone taking Biotin to lesson hair loss?  How much of that should I be popping a day?  I feel like such a little druggie with my pill dispenser and medicine cabinet full of suppliments, Actigall and Prilosec!  I still have some percocet left... Next thing you know, my neighbors will be hitting me up when the stores are closed for the night!

Aw heck, it wouldn't weird me out at all.  I actually just went ahead and ordered the organe flavor - since I saw where a few other people named it their favorite flavor.    And I ordered a small tub of Chike chocolate.  And I ordered a sample pack of all the Chike flavors. 

I'll work on the other vitamins soon....but if I can at least get started with something..that's better than nothing, right?  LOL.

Your very right I was very sad before I started my weight loss journey I did not know how sad until I started feeling better about myself. I am going to try out a kickboxing tape I have and some other workouts I have not done in a while.

Well it's not sooooo close but if you come to visit and want to play some golf or even just visit, I'm there!  It's about a 45 minute drive and that's nothing in this area!

Even though my chewable vitamins are Celebrate I use the Bariatric Advantage chewy bits for Omega 3 fish oil stuff.  I hate taking fish oil because I can always taste it but not in those.  They are delicious.  I would be surprized if you didn't like the Celebrate chewables.  I literally look forward to my multi vitamin in the morning because it tastes soooooooooo good.

Krysti there have often been some great debates about Flintstones.  I heard it straight from a nutritionists mouth and she said that they will suggest Flintstones because they are cheaper and they know most patients will at least take them even though they are less than desirable when it comes to the needs of the bariatric patient.  They figure some is better than nothing but vitamin defienciency is nothing to play with.  You did make me laugh when you said you might have to "cough up" the extra money for the Celebrate.  My offer is the same to you as Suzy.  See the post I wrote to her.  I just got a big shipment of the multi vitamin and I'm happy to share a sample.  Those lemon chewy calcium things are to die for.  They are in individual packets and wouldn't mind sending you one.  Hugs, Y
