What Vitamins Are You Taking?

[melb1976 12]

Does it get any easier to take all your Vitamins? I'm 3 weeks post op and they're grossing me out. I bought all the good ones from Bariatric Advantage, but I feel like gagging when I eat them.

Bariatric Advantage:

Multivitamin chewable

Iron chewable

sublingual B12

Calcium chew x3

Omega chew

And a b12 shot from my doctor every 2 months.

What is the Omega chew and what is it for?

Ask your nutritionist or surgeon for samples. Mine had a sample pack containing about 30 supplements from about 5 or 6 brands. You could always crush them on a spoon of yogurt.

Yes it gets easier. I take all of mine with no problem. You get tired of taking them. But this is what we have to do. I'm three months post op. good luck.

I'm on the opurity Multivitamins and Calcium. It's meant for bariatric patients.

And as I'm writing this I realize I forgot my calcium last night. Crap!

I get B12 injections once a month...I take 1 prenatal Vitamin every night at bedtime. I do liquid Calcium 3x daily ( wellese) which also had Vitamin D in it. The prenatals work wonders. No longer have anemia because of them.

I had really low Vit D & B12 and I am pre op. Could there be a chance they won't do surgery bc of it? I was taking weekly B12 injections and 15,000iu oc Vit D daily.

They will still do surgery. I had really low Vitamin D and B12 and I was able to get the surgery:)

For Calcium citrate...has anyone tried this? http://www.procarenow.com/UPCAL-D-Powdered-Calcium-20-oz-can_p_10055.html I wonder if it really is tasteless. Would be great to just mix this with a Protein Shake or flavored water.< /p>
