Recommended Posts

These bariatric Iron chewables from the Vitamin Shoppe are so horrible...towards the ends it tasted as if I had just chewed a tylenol or something ...gosh...I haven't puked at all since surgery but that right there almost put me over the edge..

I take the Celebrate Multi-Complete Vitamin. They're a Multivitamin specifically formulated for the sleeve patient, and they have the Iron already in them. I have both the orange and the forest berry, and they're delicious! I believe you can order samples from the Celebrate website, and I order my Vitamins from Amazon.< /p>

If I recall correctly, CelebrateVitamins.com has a multi with Iron (which didn't have as much Iron in it as my surgeon recommends) and one without. I chose the one without, and a separate chewable iron tablet. I actually like the grape flavor of their iron tablet.

I order mine directly from Celebrate.< /p>

The Celebrate Multi-complete has 36mg iron in the two-a-day tablets, so a full day's supply. Do you like the taste of your Vitamins, JeanZ? I was so worried they'd be gross, but after trying a sample at my surgeon's office, I was hooked! Now they're like a treat!

Wellesse liquid Iron tastes good and liquid iron is more easily absorbed than other forms. I took a double dose (with permission from my dietician) - one T. in the morning, one at night - for the first four weeks after surgery, then switched to normal iron pills I can buy at the supermarket.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
