Do I need to buy B12 in addition to taking the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Multivitamin?

Has anyone used the Unjury Vitamins? Thoughts? Suggestions?

My surgeon is recommending a B12 sub-lingual once a week for energy, as the calories consumed will be so low. They also gave me a about a billion different Vitamin samples and the only ones that I could tolerate were the unjury Vitamins. I actually really like the soft chews (I can't remember if they were Unjury or Celebrate) but they said I can't have those for several months, so nasty chewables it is I guess. I've seen several people on here say they use Flintstone Complete but my surgeon said absolutely not so I guess that's out for me. :(

My surgeon actually recommended 2 flintstones chewables per day. I buy Source Naturals B12 . I tried Unjury Vitamins before surgery and after surgery I couldn't stand the taste( multivitamin). I gave them to a friend . It was $200 worth. I kept the chewable D.

B-12 shots for me, for sure! I found Nature's Plus Source of Life liquid Gold multivitamin when I could not tolerate the Bariatric Advantage multivitamin. A compound pharmacist recommended it. I wrote down and compared every ingredient in each Vitamin, and the liquid won. I wanted the best Vitamins I could find, to keep myself healthy. I even like the taste. Don't forget the Biotin, for your hair. Good luck!

I just purchased every Unjury Vitamin online except for B-12 (because I do the shots)....I hope I can take them after surgery!

I take the opurity chewable Vitamin by Unjury, (Optimized for Sleeve patients). I also take an acid reducer and sublingual B12 on a daily basis. I was told by my surgeon and the NUT that I would have to take the Prilosec and B12 till the end of time. They will evaluate the need for Vitamins after the first year.

I do B12 shots too, give them in the butt.

I am also able to get off of prilosec now. If I feel like my tummy is acting up I take a 14 day course of it, but am no longer doing it daily and its fine.

The B-12 shot is in the fat, not the muscle.

Aline, I guess you are asking the amount of liquid Vitamin I take and it is 2 TBSP per day

Macman, Today I met with my surgeon's nurse and NUT - They both acted like they had no idea if I should continue the Prilosec. Thanks for your post, I will make sure I get a refill until I see my surgeon in March. Better safe than sorry. Linda

If you find that your B12 shots and Vitamins are not working, you may want to try Methyl B12 instead. My body doesn't use the other B12 correctly and it builds up to a very high level. When I switched to Methyl B12 it made a huge difference in my energy levels. I'm getting my labs done in a few weeks, so I'll see if the blood levels have decreased.

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

      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! 😞
