i am on a prenatal Gummy right now. all women of childbearing age really should be on a prenatal. it promotes general and reproductive health. plus, if for some crazy reason, you get pregnant, you know the foundation is set nutritionally. as long as there is sex to be had, there is ALWAYS a chance ;) lol

for post op i'm going with Celebrate Vitamins. they have formulated specifically for each type of surgery. they know exactly what type and quantity of Vitamins you need for absorption.

I had a really really hard time taking Vitamins for the first few months, but once I could start swallowing them, this is my daily cocktail (I worked with a naturopathic doctor to come up with this:)

I take the Calcium at night; the rest in the morning.

Hope that helps....BTW, I hated the chewables...yuck.

Currently, I'm taking the Bariatric Advantage chewable Multivitamin. Once they're gone, I'm going to move to their capsule form. I'm also taking extra Biotin and slow release Iron supplements.< /p>

I get it from my naturopath. I can give you her info; she ships if you're interested. She's a firm believer that not all supplements are good and she only orders high quality stuff. The name of it is Nordic Naturals ProEPA xtra It's says it's Ultra Concentrated Superior Triglyceride Form Pharmaceuticla Grade Molecularly Distilled Omega-3 Fish Oil

Hope that helps!

Coromega Omega3 Squeeze Packets - 2 daily

Vitamin D (target brand) - 5000UI a day (I have a Vitamin D deficiency)

Bariatric Advantage cinnamon chewable Calcium - 1500mg a day (I hate these and always forget to take but have so many due to an ordering mistake on my part. I don't recommend them)

Nature's Bounty Biotin 5000 mcg daily

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
