A lot of people on the general discussion boards have been touting the vitamin patches from PatchMD, maybe that's an option you could try? It would depend on what your deficiency is in, though. My nut shot down the patches for me because the multi is not a complete multivitamin (it doesn't have all of the minerals, she said.)

I'm am a roux en-y post-oper of 9 years. I've been very successful at keeping my weight at/near my goal weight. My recent struggle has been with vitamins. I struggle to take them on a daily basis since I take a few other rx meds for stomach and depression issues (the combo creates nausea, vomiting). I've never had a deficiency problem until recently, so of course, I'm concerned. And of crouse, expense is an issue so I'm looking for a variety of brands/products.

I am sure this is just the tip of the iceberg about what the food industry does in conjunction with the government. UGH. Have you seen 'Fed Up'? It was on Netflix but Katie Couric talks about obesity in relation to children and teens and some choosing to have surgery and some trying to diet. It also talks about Michelle Obama and how she tried to fight against these companies that trick us all but once she started and realized the deep rooted ties they have in the gov't, she quit. Thanks for the recommendation; I will definitely check it out!
I eat ground turkey mixed with spinach and some shredded cheese. I'll also have greek yogurt mixed with a measured amount of peanut butter or, if my calories/fat intake looks like it will be on the higher side, I mix in PB2
I didn't know the answer, so I googled it for ya. builtlean.com

Honestly, I just eat dinner for breakfast. I make extra and just have it. I hate eggs, myself. Today I had a turkey pita (St. Joseph's low carb pita) with turkey and swiss cheese. 5g carbs total, and 210 calories. 24g protein. Another favorite breakfast is sirloin briefly sauteed with some garlic, mushrooms, and scallions.
Another option is chia seed pudding. You can put almond or coconut milk with some chia seeds and let it sit over night. I mix protein powder in it too. Can be more caloric, but it's a nice and healthy change of pace.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Thank you for your response. I'll have to get some of those flavored syrups. I haven't tried them, yet.
As for the egg whites, my husband made me an egg whites turkey sausage yesterday and it made me feel sick. I did a search of the message boards and found where several people said that after about a year they could eat eggs again, so that gave me hope.

I don't enjoy cottage cheese by itself either so sometimes I will add 1 pump of torani syrup, the sugar free kind. There are a lot of flavours I like hazelnut in mine. I will also sometimes add 1/2 of a fruit cup, the kind with no added sugar. There are 8 carbs in 1/2 a Del monte peach chunks fruit cup. You might be able to find ones with less and if you can get in 1/2 a c of cottage cheese with that you get around 16g of protein depending on the brand. So for a meal I don't think that is too bad.
I think you have Fage yogurt where you live (I can't get it here in Canada) and I hear people rave about it. I use Oikos here and I again will add a flavor shot of something as I find greek yogurt a bit sour on its own.
I also don't get stuck on breakfast foods for breakfast. I will eat cold cut roll ups with cheese and pickle, or sometimes have leftover chicken or pork from last nights dinner. I also do protein decaf mocha in the AM sometimes. I use 1 chocolate premier protein shake and 2 teaspoons of decaf instant coffee. 160 cals and 30gm of protein. Not a bad start to my day.
I do eat a few eggs though.. Have you tried just egg whites like in an omlette with some ham and cheese.?
Could someone please tell me the difference between whey isolate and concentrate?? Thank you
