Recommended Posts

I take over 30 health meds and now with the Vitamins it will be so much. Is there anyway to find a Vitamins that has it all. I just started to look and haven't found one yet.

I have to crush my vitamins after surgery. but this is what I have

Calicum Carbonate 600mg two tab a day

Multivitamins 2 a day after surgery (now I need Iron pills bc the one that my pharmacist gave me have no Iron in them )

Iron

Vitamins D-3 1000iu three caps a day

B-12 1000mg one a day.

I would like to get them all in one pill is that possible ?

also Im going to start taking Biotin 5000mcg a day. and also flax seed plus Fiber.

ok going back to topic, is there one pill that will cover for all of the above

thank you

I am not aware of this miracle vitamin...but I'd like to know...

I have to take calcium citrate, D3, CoQ-10, Multiple and B12 as well... Keep them at my desk at work so I remember!

I had the same problem. Here is what I went with:

  • Trader Joe's High Potency chewables
  • B12 injections (monthly) they don't hurt at all - get rx from your doctor & inject yourself
  • Iron tablets chewable
  • Kirkland (costco) chocolate calcium chews - 2 chews have your calcium citrate and Vitamin D for the day and taste good - better than taking Calcium and D separately

Nope, I looked and looked. I also have a lot of regular medicine and I was not looking forward to adding more. I actually like the Centrum chewable vitamins the best of all the ones I tried.

You need to separate your Calcium from your Iron and shouldn't take calcium with acidic foods or coffee. Also if you switch to calcium citrate your body will absorb more of it so you won't need as much. I take my Multivitamin and iron in the morning and have half my calcium at lunch and half before bed. If the iron makes you queasy take it at night and take your calcium at a different time.

Nancy, the fusion Vitamins have Iron and Calcium in them and do not have to be taken separately. They explain how on their website. They offer a sample pack so you can try them. Any other Vitamin the Calcium has to be taken at least two hours after Iron. As Misty says, calcium citrate is the type of calcium we absorb the best after surgery. My nutritionist said that the two doses need to be about 12 hours apart because your body cannot absorb more than 500 mg in one setting so if you take more than that in, it is not doing anything for you.

Celbrate also offers samples. I take a multi with iron in it and an additional iron pill. I do not take calcium with my surgeon's approval because of a history of kidney stones. This is monitored with labs and if it drops then I will have to go on calcium.

Good luck.

My nut just emailed me she said this.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, you could take this supplement if you prefer, and you’re right, you would just need an additional Iron supplement but also extra Vitamin D. You could purchase these Vitamins, take them at two separate times/day and then taken your Iron and extra Vitamin D (2,000 units more) together.

Hope this helps… good find!

So its still not enough on it own, aarrggg i just want the lest pills the better

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
