Vitamins just after surgery.....



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 11/28 on 12/2 I was instructed to start my Vitamins. My multi Vitamin is chewable, my B12 is sublingual (dissolves under your tongue) and my calcium citrate is chewable. Just chew it up real good! Upon discharge I was told I could even have pills that were smaller than the size of a pencil eraser. My Percocets were cut in 4ths after I arrived home.

They have liquid vitamins but my surgeon didn't care that my Vitamins are chewable he just wanted me to get them in and I was ok with them. They pretty much dissolve in your mouth once chewed really well any way. Same with my Calcium and b-12 is a sublingual dot that dissolves under the tongue. If you have chewable just ask the surgeon.

Same as Aranks. At six months I was switched to Bariatri Advantage AE horsepill stinka** Vitamins that are so big I have to pulverize them and put them in applesauce or Jello Water. The last time I took one, two nights ago, it came back up. I am going back to gummies and sublingual.

I came across the JOURNEY all in one bariatric Vitamins last night. Was thinking of getting those but they don't have everything my nutritionist requires like Vitamin k etc.

My doc prescribed chewable and sublingual forms. So it was not a problem.

My Multivitamin is huge so I put it in my nutirbullet and make it into powder and put it in my Greek yogurt in the morning for Breakfast. And the rest are sublingual oh except my Calcium which seems to chew up faster and dissolve in my mouth better :-)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
