Vitamins, Vitamins, and more Vitamins

My surgery is scheduled for 2/18/16 and I'm trying to get everything ready for my big day. I was instructed to order my post op Vitamins and it's so hard to decide. What vitamins is everyone else on?

Also, any suggestions on things I should keep in my house that I will want post op? Trying to be as prepared as possible!

    What are your specific requirements in terms of being able to swallow pills versus chewables versus gummies? I was allowed to swallow whole pills 7 days post-op, so I never had to deal with chewables

I'm loving the vitamin patches since even 4 Mos post surgery I hate swallowing pills. This cuts down the number by a lot.

i have the prescription nasal spray B12 from nascobol. they also send me free Vitamins.... a multi which i take twice a day, Calcium, 3 times a day, and Iron, once a day, all chewable. it cost me $25 a month and they are delivered to me. i love them and they are very good.

I take Vitaleph bariatric multivitamins, my store brand version of Citrical Maximum +D3, and MyKind spray B12.

Jamie, my doctor said they want me to take either liquid or chewable.

I was thinking about doing the nutrameteix because I would only have to drink it once a day and it would be in the morning. I like the idea of only taking it once a day.

I started off with those too but can't tolerate the pills. I throw them up everytime :(

@@amandastearns yes. The nose spray is prescription. They send the vitamins for free.

Be careful..gummed can be full of sugars..

My prescribed pack came finally...even had my b12 nasal spray....nascobal....all my vitamins for 25 a month and a daily food. Water. Vitamin log included in a zippered bag.

My insurance didn't cover the nasal spray even though I have a PPO :-(

I ended up getting the following:

Opurity multi (1 a day)

Opurity D

Celebrate Iron

Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate chew

the above I ordered online

I also got the following from costco

B-12 Subingual

Biotin

My house is stocked with Premier Protein and Muscle Milk Light shakes (both from Costco), sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicle, broth, Vitamin Water Zero, and other stuff I hope will get me through the first couple of weeks.

Good luck!

Get enough for me?

I get to do that next week
