Vitamins, Vitamins, and more Vitamins



Recommended Posts

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!

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

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 or gummies. I take Vitaleph bariatric Multivitamins, my store brand version of Citrical Maximum +D3, and MyKind spray B12.< /p>

Rking, they give you a perception for all of those? My doctor said I had to get them personally.

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 :(

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!

      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
