Vitamins, Vitamins, and more Vitamins

[amandastearns 79]

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.

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.

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

Fushion chewable have good reviews on Amazon? I just ordered my surgery is Thursday.

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

My doctor reccomended Flinstones complete chewables! 2 a day!

[applejx68 14]

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!
