I use the opurity chewable. I know there are others, did you check with your nutrionist? The Opurity are a little tart for some, but you don'e have to swallow so it's easier for me. Also, you can check this site for more info and choices - bariatricchoice.com - there are a lot of kinds there. Hope this helps.

My nutritionist recommended Vitamins from Celebrate Bariatric supplements. You can go to their website (http://www.celebratevitamins.com/) and order a sample pack of all their Vitamins & supplements for $3. Look for the link on the left side of the page, third box from the bottom. The chewables are actually quite tasty.

I ordered all my Vitamins from LuckyVitamins.com. I have Centrum chewables in orange flavor, calcium citrate wafers in citrus flavor, Vitamin D in a berry flavor and Iron is berry flavored too. My B12 is a nasal spray that I take once a week and I got that in a prescription from my nutritionalist and insurance pays for that. They arent that bad the worst one is the Iron its a little bitter but its tolerable. The best part was the price I paid for all was really good considering other options out there.

My NP said any chewables as long as the had all your minerals as well, so I'm taking Centrum multivitamin/multi mineral chewables.

A caution on gummy vitamins, they do not contain Iron. The pharmaceutical companies have not been able to find a way to get iron in a Gummy. I use Flinstones Complete chewables and Centrum Petites for Calcium.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
