I just had my surgery Monday so I'm not on this stage yet, but as far as Vitamins are they hard to get down? And do they taste bad

Hi Jess, my B12 Vitamins are small and just suck under the tongue. The multi is a berry flavoured chewable Vitamin. Have to take losec which I take with my morning smoothie as Im not a great pill taker. Just have to do one tablet at a time and wait till it goes down if I need to take other pills. Good luck.

As a fellow RNY- er I take 2- Flinstones Vitamins daily, 1- B-12 sublingual you let dissolve under your tongue( cherry flavor) a cherry flavor Iron chewable that's really tasty, and I get my calcium citrate in liquid form I take 2- Tbsp a day. This is all broken up throughout the day

Yes I have my 6 week appointment next week and I think they are going to be adding Calcium and Iron then, hope it is also chewable. I think the Losec I am to take for 3 months but going to see if tthats necessary as over it after 6 weeks. As I said Im not a great pill taker.

I'm three weeks out and having a terrible time with my Vitamins and Calcium. My vitamins make me puke and there is no way the calcium will stay down. I'm thinking about trying Tums for the calcium. I'm going to call the NUT on Monday. I know how important these are but I just can't get them down.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
