Has anyone started a Vitamin routine yet? What are the Vitamins your taking?

Doing researching I've notice a lot of people don't take the same kinds of vitamins.

What is your surgeon recommending? My surgeon wants me to take a minimum of 1000mg calcium citrate, Iron, Biotin, B12, and a multiple.

I am so glad you ask this.

I was wondering too what kind and when people take their Vitamins.< /p>

I have read that certain vitamins need to be taken together and some apart.

I would love some feed back on how different ones daily schedule of viatmins, meals, fluids etc go.

It all seems so overwhelming of when to do what. I know the docs will tell you but how does it

work in the real world (lol) what have you found that helps you keep on track?

I take a Centrum multi chewable, Iron, Vitamin D and Biotin in the morning when I wake up. In the evening another centrum along with my Calcium. My B12 I take via shot and give it to myself once a month.

I take my multi Vitamin and chewable Iron together in the morning. then at lunch or in the evening (depends if I forget at lunch) I take my calcium citrate, B12 sublingual, hair, skln and nails Vitamin and magnesium. Dr only requires the B12, multi vitamin and the calicium, I added the rest. I was told to take the Iron and Calcium at seperate time.

I take my iron in the morning because I normally have fruit in my Protein shake and if I am correct taking iron with a Vitamin C or something like broccoli helps with the absorption of the iron. (at least that is what they told me when my kids were taking iron)

      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.

        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!
