Non-chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

The nut sez I can go on non-chewable Vitamins, except calcium citrate, 4 weeks after surgery, which is less than 2 weeks from now. My regiment is a multi, B complex and Calcium citrate. I'm not sure how much to order since she won't give me an idea how long I'll be on this regiment, but the attached seem to be the smallest quantity at Bariatric Advantage. It's expensive! Is my order reasonable? Thanks.

I just bought a few months of the Vitamin Patches they have in the store here. Transdermal is supposed to be better absorbed so that's what I'm going with for now. The price is very comparable.

That seems expensive! I think I paid around $10 for my chewables from vitacost, I don't think there are as many tablets in the bottle but it's a months worth.

She said they're too big and it's too many per day.
I was cleared for all pills at one month post op. The calcium citrate I take are 500mg each so that's only 3 per day. chewable were at to expensivesorry for me.

I tried to edit but can't from my Kindle.....My mistake...My Calcium is 250mg per pill. I take 3, plus there is calcium in my multi Vitamin. I eat yogurt, cheese and drink milk. My labs have been good.

      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!
