Multivitamins post-op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 months post-op and recently switched over from my chewable Multivitamins to some prenatal multivitamins to get the added Iron and folic acid which is supposed to be really important for bariatric patients, but they have been making me incredibly nauseaus and every time I take one I feel like I'm about to throw up. I haven't had any problems taking pill form Vitamins before, and I'm taking my Vitamin B12 and Calcium regularly. Has anyone else experienced this? What Multivitamin do you take daily that fits the bariatric requirements? Any recommendations for good ones? I prefer pill or capsule form rather than chewable and would like something completely tasteless and odourless (the prenatal ones had a really strong smell and taste even though they were in pill form, it wasn't very pleasant :/ ). Thanks!

Then at 2pm calcium chew and at 8pm calcium chew (my total 1500 daily) ...when I space it out with my meals..no nausea, throw up or any side effects from eating or taking meds.. Sleeved Nov 9th.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
