I know what your going to say:

"Didn't your doctor tell you"?

Anyhow I want to stack up on Vitamins I need after being sleeved 8/27. Can anyone run that down for me please? I would gladly appreciate

I was only told to take a Multivitamin and a Calcium supplement. I've heard other people have to take Iron but that wasn't required for me. I bought the opurity Multivitamin because it's one-per-day and all the others I found were two-per-day. I took my first one yesterday and it stayed down with no problem. I also bought the Opurity Calcium but I don't like them so far. It was recommended that I get at least 1000 mg calcium per day and the Opurity calcium requires 4 chewables a day to get that much. Yuck. I'm going to switch to the Celebrate calcium chewable because it would only be 2 chewables per day. My NUT also told me not to take your calcium and Iron together if you're required to take both. You can take the mulitivitamin and calcium together but I haven't been doing that. I take my multivitamin in the morning with my 2 oz of Fluid then one dose of calcium around lunchtime and the second dose around dinnertime. So far that is what has been working for me.

I take a multi-Vitamin per day, 2 Calcium pills (am and pm) and sublingual B-12 twice a week. Everyone is different based on bloodwork done so it really is up to your own team.

I had a multivitamin once a day, and b-12 injection once per month.

You really do need to get this from your program. Recommendations will vary program to program and supplements will depend on your bloodwork.

      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.

        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!
