Weak Bariatric Vitamin Brands? Doesn't Make Sense...
Midwest Grateful posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi everyone. I'm still looking for new vitamins, especially chewable (no soft gel). Is it me, or are these bariatric vitamin brands super weak? Fusion, ProCare, etc. have low amounts of vitamin B's, etc. I've always invested in high quality vitamins (Brain MD, others). The vitamins recommended by Cleveland Clinic even recommend a good amount of vitamin nutrients, but I don't find them in these bariatric brands. I realize I'd need to take numerous amounts of vitamins/day, but I'd have to take more than 10 multivitamins in these brands. Thoughts? -

Yes exactly this. This is so very tiring. Your brain is going a mile a minute and must be burning so many calories. I get B12 shots every 3 months at my doctors. If you have bariatric surgery here it seems to be the norm. These are like liquid energy and I don't need to check my calendar when they are due for renewal. The last two weeks are hell, I drag myself around. I had similar issues to you in my first year. I really struggled to eat and my calories were so low. I tired easily too. My team and I decided that it would be best for me to eat tiny meals, 6 times a day. My menu would be, meal 1, protein yogurt 2, homemade lentil and veg soup 3, scrambled egg 4, Fish in a sauce 5, Some jerky or cheese 6, a latte or some watermelon. This, in my mind gave me everything, I nutritionally needed but my calories were about 500 a day. I started to do full fat everything and upped my calories to 800 slowly. You will feel regret, its a lot to deal with. Every week gets easier. Once you master drinking enough you will leap forward.

BlondePatriotInCDA replied to Ms. Neidler's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did the bariatric team give you the variable calories? The "800 - 1200" A day? Normally, its a set amount... I'd contact your bariatric team/dietician..IF you're not cheating you should be losing more than 4 lbs in two months. -
Has anyone with diastolic dysfunction had bariatric surgery?
lucyinthecity posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi! I am scheduled to have gastric sleeve surgery in September. I have diastolic dysfunction grade 1 and the idea of going under anesthesia makes me nervous. My surgeon is aware, as is my cardiologist and all have given me the green light. I realize that weight loss will likely improve the diastolic dysfunction and hopefully prevent full blown heart failure, so I am leaning towards going through with the surgery. I had a previous lapband (removed in 2014) and multiple surgeries which has caused adhesions/scar tissue, which will likely extend my total time under anesthesia. Has anyone had WLS with heart disease? If so, did you have any cardiac complications during or post-surgery? -
Mental health issues n memory issues ater gastric bypass
Jalapeño replied to Stephanie reiss's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
B12 is extremely important for memory. For bariatric surgery, excluding the lap band, you need 12 weekly B12 injections. -
Stalls are stalls. There is absolutely no rhyme nor reason to them, they just happen. People try to break them by upping or lowering calories, changing exercise regime, whatever. And when the loss restarts they SWEAR that what they did caused the renewed loss. The fact is, stalls last a few days, or worse, a few weeks and then they end. If you stick to your programme you'll start losing again soon. You don't need to do anything drastic.

Many hospitals and clinics that perform bariatric surgeries offer support groups. These groups are not only great for emotional support and advice but also for meeting others who have gone through similar experiences.

I'd make an appointment with your bariatric team then. I'm a slow weight loser..but 4 lbs in two months seems off. -
Needing some encouragement
K Ramirez replied to K Ramirez's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I use an app but not made for bariatric, I'll have to give this a try. And ugh... Bowel movements! They're few and far between. Thank you for your help 🙂 -

May 2024 Surgery Buddies 😁
WarrenInEC replied to Bypass2Freedom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To all my May surgery brothers and sisters, just remember one thing. They don't have many bariatric beds in nursing homes, because they don't need them!! We got this!! -
If all else fails, maybe speak with a bariatric nutritionist for some advice. They'd be able to give you tailored suggestions. Good luck!

I’m curious if there’s anyone local who is also going through the bariatric journey. It would be great to connect with someone nearby who understands the challenges and triumphs of this process. Sharing experiences and supporting each other can make a huge difference.

No drinking rule with snacks?
BlondePatriotInCDA replied to tinyforks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
They should do this for all bariatric patients! It brings it home seeing it yourself! -
Hello, I had a sleeve gastrectomy in 2016. Recently I had an endoscopy due to swallowing issues (I have multiple sclerosis). The biopsy of my stomach came back with changes and i had mild damage in my distal esophagus. I do not have a GI and have not been being followed by the bariatric center for several years. I have an appointment to see my bariatric surgeon as it seems that the recourse for bile reflux is a revision. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this?

I wonder if you would have better luck bringing both bottles or a printout of what’s in them with you to your appointment so they can “compare” the ingredients for you and tell you if it is “possible” for you to take the same ones or if what the surgeon said is a better plan. I have tried comparing vitamins before to find cheaper bariatric ones and its apples and oranges. can only imagine how differnt prenatal ones would be from bariatric. I feel like a doctor would know what’s really important and what’s not better than we would.

High protein vs HIgh fiber or both ?
summerseeker replied to Rose perez's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Hello @Rose perez, If you are really 75lbs and its not a typo, you need to be speaking to your bariatric team. At that weight you are too restricted. -
Full Liquid diet rules
LilaNicole20 replied to LAMamma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’d suggest purchasing a soup that has protein. Most protein powders do not mix well with hot water and changes the texture of the soup. I’d aim for a bone broth as arabesque mentioned. They also make Bariatric soups that might be worth a shot. -
Schizophrenia and the sleeve operation
Neostarwcc replied to Neostarwcc's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I see my psychiatrist again after the bariatric nurse goes over the test results in late June. I told my psychiatrist I was getting the sleeve and he didn't say much but I can ask him how it will affect my meds the next time I see him. And I just talked to my wife. Apparently both the surgeon and the nurse practitioner that we saw gave the ok on the sleeve operation and said that there was no malabsorbtion with it unlike the other two operations so as long as I'm given a clean bill of health and pass my Psych eval I should be good to go to start physical therapy and start seeing a bariatric nutritionist. -
