Which Bariatric vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements do YOU take ?



Recommended Posts

I gm have tried capsules and chewables an have had no luck. I have been on gummys. I have the Celebrate capsules an have tried an tried to take. Within 10-15 minutes if taking I got light headed an little dizzy, then throw up. It's so bad I actually dry heave due to puking everything up an nothing being left but the icky yellow stuff (I know TMI) but my hole upper body is sore after this process. I have been through twice an I'm scared to try again:(

I have been great on flinstone Gummy but in afraid that I'm not getting what I need, or no if I need to take more than just that.

Hi, I have found that the Vitamins and Protein powders by unjury are very good. :) I order them from their web site.

I take Vita4Life Multi-Plus and I take 4 per day. My surgeon recommended I take only Vita4Life products, and I've been compliant since my surgery 5 years ago. I've had nothing but great results with them. I also take their Calcium supplement and their sublingual B-12. I don't take anything other than those supplements.< /p>

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
