Post Op Vitamins And Supplements



Recommended Posts

Ok I googled the topic and found this awesome link to a comparison chart it is so comprehensive with the authors opinion on taste ' date=' cost analysis broken down to cost per day not per pill/tab because some have you take 1 or 2 or even 3 here it is

Darn wish it would highlight as a link darn iPad[/quote']

So, this is very informative. I do not see the one you use recommended. Would you change your recommendation or stick with what you have?

I take a Gummy multi and vit D from Walmart and was getting B12 injections but my nutritionist freaked when my blood levels came back, the B12 was way too high so now I just take the sublingual. I also take Iron (for menstruating Women it's a must), Calcium, sometimes when I remember I add vit E, Biotin, and vit C..oh and a probiotic.

I actually am pre op and bought the opurity by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury I gave its stats toward the beginning of the thread. Seems comprehensive will be discussing it with my dr tomorrow. The taste wasn't tooooooo bad may need to test a few to find the one I like not that I won't be using all the others cause of the cost.

Caltrate is Calcium carbonate. I was told the best calcium for us is calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is the same thing in tums. It's not easily absorbed by RNY patients.

Citrical is the most popular brand of calcium citrate but so far I haven't found it in chewable form. For now I'm taking the Bariatric Advantage calcuum citrate chewable lozenges. It's like chewing a big chunk of chalk. Blech!!!!

The Dr, dietician and pharmacist know and said those were great to take. Maybe each Dr is different on their preference.

Why do you take prenatal pills?

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
