Did you start your vitamins immediately post-op?



Recommended Posts

These chewable vitamins are really grossing me out and I'm not sure if I can take them right now while I'm still so fresh from surgery.

Did everyone immediately get on the Vitamin regimen, or did you wait a bit until things calmed down?

Thanks!

My doctor told me to bring them to the hospital. Mine are yummy though so I'm hoping I won't have any issues.

What kind are you taking that you'd call them yummy? I could use yummy ones. Mine are gross.

Mine literately taste like candy.< /p>

I have:

Celebrate Multivitamin in Grape, strawberry pineapple, and Mandarin Orange...taste like flinstone Vitamins without any weird powdery after taste.

Celebrate Calcium + 500 Cherry Tart which literately taste like a cherry sweet tart...YUM!

Celebrate Iron+C 30mg Grape, again pretty yummy with little to no aftertaste. I took a sip of Water after it and had a pleasant grape taste in my mouth

For the bi-lingual B-12 mine are just tiny so they dissolve in seconds. I got them from Trader Joes for like $6

I got Nature's Way Biotin 100mg lozenges and I actually had to debate with myself how many I could eat before I'd od on Biotin :P

They are all pretty good and in my opinion affordable.

I waited until after my first pre-op visit. I have Centrum flavor burst and they are delicious. I have to stop myself from munching on the whole bottle. My calcium citrate is from Bariatric Advantage and they're chocolate and carmel chews. Love them! My B12 is also one that dissolves under the tongue very quickly. I think they're cherry flavored. I need to check out the Biotin and I may need the fish oil too soon. It took me trial and error to get here but I'm quite pleased with my regimen.

I was told not to start mine until my one week check up.

SOOOO That is when I started mine!

I was told 2 weeks. Vitamins are very important though. I can always tell if I slack off for a few days.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
