Question:
Post Ops: Any Vegetarians out there 2 or more years?

I'm interested in knowing what you are eating these days for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Having been out of circulation for a while, and was sidetracked. I've gone through a significant amount of struggles, but need some new ideas on what to eat again. Are you taking Vitamins A,D,E,K? Where do you get them? I wish thery were available in liquid form. I need suggesstions for an excellent multivitamin. My doc says I need to take two per day. Proximal LAP RNY 9/3/02 265/182/115-126 Hadiyah, a.k.a.~~    — yourdivaness (posted on May 18, 2005)

DR, I am only 2 months post op but I do use a vegetarian chewable multivitamin it's Pioneer chewable. I know that Whole Foods carry them but I ordered mine on line. Good Luck with everything. Denise

I'm not vegetarian, but I do take a great OTC pre-natal vitamin by Puritan's Pride. I order it online.

ORIGINAL POSTER HERE: I heard Pre-natal vitamins were good for us. I'm kinda partial to liquids now though, I'm tired of the *monstrous* pills we have to take. If I can get past taking large pills, I'll just about try anything that will have a positive impact on my health and my labs for the rest of my life!

I am a vegetarian and almost 3 years out. I take the Flinstones chewables. I don't like to take large pills either, so I like these plus they taste fine, unlike the prenatal chewables I tried to take during pregnancy. A typical day of eating for me is Special K cereal and skim milk for breakfast and maybe one egg; reduced-fat peanut butter on whole wheat bread for lunch; something like a Lean Cuisine or Subway wrap for dinner. For "snacks" in between, I like Nutrigrain bars and Wheat Thins. I try to also get in one protein drink every day.
