Which prenatal vitamins are the best for gastric bypass patients?

What kind of prenatal vitamins are the best for gastric bypass patients?

Wait...there are different things I should be taking on days I train than the days I'm just doing cardio?

Thanks! The only reason why I was trying to stay away from caffeine is because my doctor said gastric bypass patients are supposed to stay away from caffeine because it causes ulcers. I have awful luck....I'll be that person that gets the ulcers! Right now I'm just having a little peanut butter and half a banana before I work out then post work out I have a whey protein shake with glutamine powder. I wake up so early and I don't get to work out until the evening. I guess I was just in need of something to help give me that push. I'll check out your recommendations! I really appreciate the help!

What is a good pre workout drink that doesn't have caffeine? Something that helps with energy and helps you push your way through your work out. Most have caffeine and I was told to stay away from it. Possibly amino acids instead?

Thank for all the ideas and info! I think I have a game plan!

I just talked to my dietitian...she said to add some fruit. Maybe 1/4 cup grapes during the day then half an apple and a small scoop of peanut butter before I work out. She said I need those carbs for work out and to help stabilize. :/

To mistysj....Shouldn't we all have a dietitian?! We had to see one before surgery. I have an appointment with mine. It's not for another 2 weeks....I thought maybe someone else has had the same problem and could give me some insight...feel free to ignore my previous post

I'm eating what the dietitian wants me to but there is no way I'm getting enough calories with the amount if working out I'm doing. I weight train 3x a week with a trainer and I do cardio 6 days a week for an hour. I always get in all my protein. But my problem is there are days I'm getting only 700 or 800 calories. I was told to not graze and to eat 3 meals a day with one snack, possibly 2 if needed. I always feel sluggish and I've lost 3 lbs in 3 months and I'm only 10 months our from surgery. Am I making sense? How can I increase my calories without increasing what I eat each meal. I've already added a post work out Shake. I double my protein shake in the morning, have an afternoon snack, then lunch, then another snack, then pre work out Shake, post work out Shake and then dinner. I know we will always go through stalls but this is getting ridicules. I can't figure what else to do. My doctor says I'm doing fine just keep doing what I'm doing but this my third stall that has lasted over 2 months. I know even though I had surgery I still need to fuel my body. I just don't know how else to do it. Any one have any ideas? Help!
