Hi everyone!

Just came back from doctor's office and have a October 28th surgery date for Gastric Bypass. This is it, the high diving platform. Knees are trembling.

Anyone else in October? Let's keep in touch as we support each other. We have the pre-op diet and getting mentally ready for this.

LET'S DO IT!

I didn't kno the multi had iron! I'm taking iron aside from it uhmmm oops I'm going to ask @@freelyme since my pharmacy and docs are closed.does Multi vitamin have iron? I was precribed separate iron!

it does but the amount of calcium in the multivitamin is not enough and doesnt block the iron that's in it because it's not enough calcium that's why we take extra calcium and extra iron it's crazy

I take multivitamin and extra iron then 2 hours later my calcium and at night more iron

My pill taking routine is like an ordeal. I am glad I am not alone. Are you all taking sublingual B12 as well and Biotin?

@@Beni so you know! I didn't want to go to the er! I suffered recovering from my c section and that horrible pain. Those percs messed me up like I felt it in my gut and going down I was miserable, like how do you feel like pooping but its just stuck there? My god, I think I took more than 15 laxatives. When it came out, there was a force I felt it all come out, I even screamed I didn't know that could be possible, idk how my intestines didn't pop. Geez I even took pictures because I would of made the book of world records! Idk how it came out it was like a basketball. I hope I poop soon because I really am scared of going through that again. Okay I'm done with the tmi, sorry guys.

No that's a lot man

I'm spitting up likes baby. My kids had to burp me. (Hitting on the back) I drank my apple juice to close after eating my soup and baby food beef

Lol

some multistage do, some don't, I bought Flintstone chewable because it does. Look on the label. Some of the Centrum silver chewable does not.

awww poor baby

I'm not using my chewable a yet just regular multivitamins I'm going to check I thing they have iron

OMG I thought I was the only person who had gone through that. My doctor said it was impossible after 4 bottles os sodium citrate. Basically he didn't believe that I had consumed that much. I had not been able to go for 14 days. Imagine.

Later i found out it was the Percs. I was so mad the doctor didn't tell me. heck at least I could have been taking laxatives. I cannot believe how uncaring health care professionals are to constipation. It is a BIG DEAL

Yea it has 18mg of iron and only 108mg of calcium which we need 1000mg of calcium crazy crazy

@Bronxmerci---Oh my gosh girl!!! You poor thing!!! I have had issues "going" since, like forever! I finally was recommended a natural "vitamin" called Mag 07 (check it out on Amazon) It works WONDERS. BUT, they're big capsules and I doubt I'll be able to take them after surgery. It's basically a big dose of magnesium, but it's not like a laxatve, it's not "violent", LOL. I'm wondering if I can open the capsules and dump them in applesauce or something. I might bring them to the hospital and ask. Seriously, I've been regular for the last 8 months, which is like a miracle for me.

As far as the meds...for me, my Dr. to take as many chewable or dissolvable as possible. All of mine, except Vit B1 are. And that one is tiny. Oh, and my calcium, but I have the petite ones, so should be ok.

ok so I need to keep the Castro oil on deck lol

@@Beni you can take them, I'm taking 2 percs, zinc, calcium, multivitamin, stool softener, and iron and prisolec, the iron at a different time though. I think you will be fine. I break it into different times. I take the percs and zinc with prisolec, then 4 hours later I take the multi with calcium and percs, then at night iron, stool softerner and percs. They fit lol, its the water to get them down that fills you up. Talking about stool softener, TMI WARNING*************** when will I poop? It has been like 6 days. When I had my c-section I didn't poop for 14 days!! It was hard and stuck inside of me, I had to take 15 laxatives over a 3 day period and then it was like hell getting that devil out, it was like 15 lbs tmi I'm sorry and then it wouldn't flush, I had a poop that was bigger and harder than the hole itself, I would of died I think if I didn't get it out, my doctor said I should of let the nurse take it out, they break it up inside of you or something because you can't deliver it, it was the worst thing in life, but when it came out I felt pure relief, like I never felt that in my life. My poop was literally stuck in my tunnel just trapped. I put on gloves and used vaseline and dug up in there and felt it, it was a rock. I'm sorry guys it was the worst thing next to the csection, I don't ever want that to happen to me again.

my doctor told me to take milk of magnesia. I couldn't pass gas after surgery at all. That help now I've switch to (TMI MOMENT) explosive diarrhea.
