My doctor didn't give me much info about what Vitamins to take, when to start taking them, etc. All he told me was B12. What do you guys take or what did your doctor tell you to take? Does it have to be a certain form?

Any advice would be great!

I was told by my nut: a chewable Multivitamin, B12 1000mcg sublingual, B complex w/ thiamine. 2000iu Vitamin D. Specifically for women, 1200-1500mg daily of a chewable Calcium citrate. And Biotin for hair loss.

The B complex is nasty I'm told.

I know there's lots of others who have different instructions, but this is this list straight from the binder they gave hand out to everyone that comes through their office.

Do those all taste ok? I'm not too concerned with ones I swallow but I don't want to chew something nasty.

They are not bad at all! The bariatric one is berry flavored and easy to chew. I have tried a few and this one is the best!

Multi Vit, Vit D, calcium citrate, B12, and a PPI every day. Im cleared for pills, but I love my chewables lol! It's like little pieces of candy for me! I really like the taste of mine and continue to buy chewy's!

PPI? What about the Iron and Biotin? They are both pills...can I not take them right away?

PPI is just an acid reducer like prilosec but i got a prescription version, it calms the stomach rumbles. I was never told to take Iron and it didn't show up bad on my labs? And I don't take Biotin, there's no help for the wicked case of male pattern baldness i have been rocking the last few years!

I have been taking these since day one of my preop diet. I also take two Synthroid tablets and a Prilosec tablet everyday. I have had no issues taking these pills even day of surgery I took them.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
