I use the Proteinex product advertised here on AMOS. It's a citrus-like cough syrup. Two tablespoons= 15 grams of protein and it runs around $20 for a 16 oz bottle which usually last me a little over two weeks. Centrum offers a liquid vitamin. It taste horrbile ..so be prepared!!! :)

Liquid vitamin, I use Body Balance by Lifeforce. It's cherry tasting (a little bitter). I was using flintstone chewables the first 2 weeks after surgery and couldn't get any energy. I went back to my Lifeforce and within 2 days energy level was back to normal. Check out there web site at Lifeforce.com. They also have aminocharge which is a liquid protein. I haven't tried it yet was going to purchas the proteinex and see how I like it.

http://www.vita4life.net I use the honey-flavor, because it is rather generic tasting. I put it in the water bottle with a splash of flat diet orange soda, then fill to the rim with water.

As a registered nurse I highly recommend "Isotonix" brand. "Isotonix" brand is in powder form and ingested in liquid form after water is added. Also, just to inform you, "Isotonix" is a much better quality than your traditional LIQUID vitamin. Traditional liquid vitamins still must convert to an isotonic state before absorption can take place. With "Isotonix" brand, it is ALREADY converted to an isotonic state when water is added. This means that about 90% WILL BE ABSORBED WITHIN 5 MINUTES!! Tablet form you can only expect 0-20% and takes about 45 minutes to 4 hours just to break down!! This is a HUGE difference. Also, "Isotonix" brand does NOT have the nasty taste of traditional liquids. I actually look forward to drinking them! Website address: pattischmoldt.unfranchise.com I highly recommend this vitamin line to EVERYONE, whether or not they had WLS. Feel free to email me privately if you wish. Patti RN

I use the Isotonix multi-vitamin and the calcium. They really do taste good. One is citrisy and the other tastes like orange pop. They are effervescent so I can't just chug them down unless I let them sit for a little bit. They sure beat gagging down huge pills or that horrid Centrum liquid! Good luck to you!

I use a combination of Proteinex and Amino Infusion 5000. Proteinex is a tart orange flavored liquid that has 15 grams of protein per 2 T. It works well in Crystal Light or Citris Juice. Amino Infusion 5000 is a sweet tasting liquid that has 5 grams per tablespoon. You can dilute it or put it in juice or take them straight. It comes in 3 flavors Raspberry, Grape and Fruit Punch. I just couldn't handle the milk based protein items, so these were a great fit for me.
