I take Gummy bites..I got them at Walgreens Mine have the 400mcg. Of folate also and I take two a day.. I also use nature's bounty bcomplex liquid Vitamin, Celebrate Iron +c,, and a Calcium +d twice a day chewable caltrate. I'm newer than you so all I know is what the veterans and my Dr. and nut told me...get your Protein and Vitamins, exercise and weight will come off.

B Vitamins are CRITICAL to your mental health, lapsing on B vitamins for too long will have irreversible consequences to your mental capacity. (Per my nurse education class and pre-op educational workshops). I was told that due to malabsorption sublingual B vitamins are the best (they never listed liquid B so I don't know about that - ask your doctor).

My vitamins are only a little different than deaddemmama's Different programs have subtle differences in Vitamin requirements. My multi chewable must say 'complete' in the name - complete means it has Iron. And I have to take chewable calcium citrate w/d three times daily. Calcium cannot be taken within two hours of your multi - if I remember right calcium inhibits iron absorption or visa versa

And as I said above, I take sublingual B (dissolves under the tongue).

You should follow your doctors advice.

      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!
