my dr wants me to start on the Flinstones chewable, everytime i take one I am starving all day! Surgery isnt until Jan 13th and I DONT want to gain any more weight! I have already gained 15 lbs sinced my lap band slipped in the beginning of Sept.  I tried taking them at night, but i am still starving by 8:30 am. Any advise?

Flinstnes are a horribly incomplete vitamin anyway, so I'd really side eye any doctor *****commended them.

they are making you hungry because they are full of sugar.

Yes I would bet the sugar is triggering carb cravings and Flinstones is about the worst vitamin in the world for weight loss surgery. Just find a good adult vitamin you can just pop in and swallow down. If you need something chewable Centrum has a chewable that isn't too bad.
