Question..vitamins And Supplements



Recommended Posts

I take these: http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Alive-Liquid-Citrus/dp/B00125VQ78 before surgery I took the same but in a pill now liquid. I love those Vitamins because you get everything your body needs. (taste is not that great in liquid but great multi, I can actually feel the energy from it. I also take Gummy Calcium.< /p>

I take a fish oil called Coromega Omega 3 Orange. It is a squeeze pouch that doesn't taste too bad. I guess a lot of parents use it for their children. No fishy smells. Kind of like a creamsicle' date=' but not quite.

I would buy off of Amazon.com, as I was in a supplement store yesterday and they charge over 30 for the same thing I paid 17.

http://www.amazon.com/Coromega-Omega-3-Supplement-Squeeze-90-Count/dp/B000FFQATA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333299205&sr=8-1

I ordered my first set of Vitamins from unjury. They are called O-Purity and are band specific. I did a comparison on my blog between these, Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, Flinstones, and Centrum chewable. The cheapest was Flintstones (0.08 per day), Centrum (0.10), O-Purity (0.30), Celebrate (0.42), and Bariatric Advantage (0.45).

Interestingly, my surgeon's material recommends the Centrum chewables, which you can usually get for 8-10 a bottle. I decided to go with O-purity because the ingredients do not come from China and unlike the other two bariatric Vitamins, you only have to take one Vitamin a day vs two.

I would say if you went with the Centrium, make sure to buy an additional Biotin supplement, a B12 sublingual, and the Calcium + vit D/K chews. I found the Biotin and B12 at Walmart for approx 10 for both. I buy my 180 chews at Costco/Sam's Club for 11.

Thank you so much for the info on the Coromegas! My PCP called last week to let me know my triglycerides are in the 300s so I need to get going on it. Itll improve post banding too. This Wednesday is my placement day!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
