Okay your doctor may advise you differently - so LISTEN to him, but this is what I was told to take:
2 chewable multivitamins, 2 calcium supplements (can't be close to the time you take your multivitamins, 2500mcg of B-12 (sublingqual), 30mg Prevacid daily
I think that is all the supplements/vitamins.
It was pounded into my head to get in 64g of water and 64g of protein daily. I usually get the unflavored whey protein and mix it with sugar free pudding.
The liquid diet for me lasted about 3 weeks. It was soups, cottage cheese, pureed oatmeal, mashed potatoes (even though they tell you to avoid starches, for a while it was the only thing I could keep in), cream soups.
The liquid portion of the diet is VERY frustrating, but eventually you get to eat a little more and try new things, and it gets easier. The important thing is to listen to your pouch and the INSTANT you start to feel uncomfortable, push your plate away.
