Vitamins..in what order?



Recommended Posts

I started taking my chewable Vitamin 3 days post-op, I can begin tomorrow vitamin B12, Iron & Biotin. In what order should I take them daily?

I usually take my synthroid and Centrum chewable first thing in the morning.

Here is the regimen my nutritionist put me on:

8am - B-12 & Calcium

11am - Multivitamin

2pm - Calcium

5pm - Multivitamin

8am - calcium

Just make sure you take your calcium at least 2 hours away from your Iron (or multi that includes iron). Calcium blocks the absorption of Iron.< /p>

I take my thiamine, multi Vitamin and B-12 in the morning.

Then between 12-2 I take my chewable calicum with Vitamin D 500.

Then between 5-6 I take another multi Vitamin

Then at bedtime I take a chewable calicum citrate/vitamin d 500 again.

The most important thing is to wait 2-3 hours between Multi vitamin and Calcium due to absorption issues. Some people take calcium three to four times a day and this depends on the strength of calcium. I know calcium chews you need to take more of.

If i were taking Biotin or Iron I would take those in the morning right away but I am not taking either of those at this time.

The Vitamins I take are all inclusive for bariatric patients. I just add a scoop of powder to my Protein Shake in the am and I have my vitamins. Except for B12 and I take it in the am as well.

It is called new life bariatric. Takes the guess work out of everything!

I take a one pill a day multi-vit after eating it is nasty but worth it....B-12 in the morning and D3 sometime through out the day. I did use Biotin for a while but no Iron.< /p>

      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!
