It has a weird name--To your Health,but is a great one to take. It is based on food sourced Vitamins not inorganics as alot of the more common ones do. This helps explain why some Vitamins give you more ompfff then others. The food derived vitamins give your body a source that is more readily absorbed and digested verses an inorganic source-such as tar that has alot of vitamins in it but is not as readily used by the body. A good test for a solid Vitamin is to put in a glass of Water and see how much of it dissolves after 5 minutes, even with vigorous stirring. One that readily dissolves is usually a better grade of Vitamin.< /p>

IT can be ordered at www.tyh.us or at 1-866-438-7323

It is pricy at $35-40 per bottle but lasts a long time and a single dosage is only 1 Fluid oz. Below is what 1 dosage provides....

Hi everyone :nervous , I am still in the pre-op stage and I wanted to know what to possibly expect after the surgery. How long did it take to get back on your feet? I am scheduled to have the surgery on a Wednesday and my doctor told me I could be back to work the following Monday. Does this sound realistic? I decided to have the Lap Band Procedure because I believe it is less invasive than the Gastric Bypass. Is that anyone elses general understanding? Did you find it to be true? I guess I am pretty nervous because I have never had surgery (except oral). Any advice on how to deal with the diet? I was thinking about starting the diet now since I have about six weeks before I actually have the surgery? Does anyone think that would be helpful? Also, I have been reading alot of the postings about insurance and I guess I should consider myself fortunate that my health insurance covers this procedure.

Hello all,

I just wanted to let you know that I saw a hair specialist and she sadi to only get 100% of my vit. A at most, too much can increase Hair loss after surgery. Just thought I would let you all know.

Also liquid Vitamins are great but spray Vitamins are not as effective because absorption doesn't occur in the mouth. Vitamist is not a good product if you need more than 30-40% of what you take and why else would you take them?

I just wanted to avoid hair loss and checked it out. If you hear differently, let me know.

Brad

I'm surprised you haven't started Vitamins, I took vitamins b4 being banded. I use the ones Penni told us about on page 1 of this thread, but Source of Life. No nasty aftertaste.

I took Vitamist to the dietician at the hospital, and she said it was great. They also have a new bariatric formula. I was also told they have a liquid prenatal Vitamin, and I took prenatals before my surgery, however we all know prenatal Vitamins are as big as horse pills hence I had to discontinue prenatals after being banded. I think they will give you one bottle complimentary if you call them, I dont know there # but the web address is www.vitamist.com I also want to make it clear I am not a distributer, nor do I make any type of profit at all for this company, I just like their vitamin. I also have seen many hair specialists concerning my hair as I have alopecia, and I was told Hair loss after bariatric surgery can be atributed to lack of protien. I was shocked because after my surgery my hair has grown thicker.

I also sometimes go to my PCP and get B-6 B-12 shots

I guess it depends on who you speak with. I do know that The dietician also told me about a vitamin that can be purchased at costco called "Glacial Milk" I personally have never used it but could be good!

Thanks

Kristie

My husband went to the store for me this weekend and he bought me some Flinestone Vitamins. It was so funny cause my little girl wanted to try one so I gave her one and now she wants me to take her Gummy bear Vitamins instead. I guess I'll have to buy her Flinstones next time.

I was recommened Spirulina by my local naturopath. It comes in various forms - tablets , liquid and powder. The great thing about Spirulina is that it is 40% amino acids - these are the Proteins you need for building hair, nails and healing, and the sort of things it really hard to get if you are on a liquid diets. It also contains Calcium, Iron and B12 - again good if you're not eating meat or green veg.

It isn't contraindicated with any meds. The bad news - it looks terrible but tastes pretty much of nothing. I've been mixing it with juice. It turns everything sea blue but the taste is neutral. It's made from Algae!

Has anyone tried the new chewable ones? I'm gonna buy some when I see them cuz it looks like a little caramel candy. I've tried liquid and pills, but I HATE taking them so I often go days without Vitamins. Maybe if I try one in candy form I'll eat the darn thing.

I take the flintstone's too. My doctor recommended them, but I did compare them to the Gummy Bears and to the new Viactiv and the Flintstones Complete are far better with all the extra things in them.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
