Multi Vitamins



Recommended Posts

My doctor has advised that it would be a good idea to go on a multi Vitamin after surgery. He also said that capsules and tablets will be hard to get down.

Does anyone have suggestions on what good multi options we have after being banded?

I would love to hear from anyone, particularly those in Australia - Ta!!!! :)

:rose: Oh yeah...I'm also taking the Spring Valley brand of chewable calcium...the chocolate. Now I won't give those up because I am very strict with my diet and I enjoy having them 3 times a day because it's like a treat for me.

I also use Perfect B for a B complex....like it, too.

:D

haha I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking the Flintstones. I've tried the Centrum chewables and thought they were kinda icky. Then I remembered how much I liked Flintstones as a kid and asked my nutritionist (who is also banded) and she blushingly said those are what she takes too. We had a good laugh at how silly it sounds ..but they do the job :-)

I started out taking flintstones when I first had surgery. Now I don't have any trouble swallowing pills so I am taking viactiv flavor glides. They taste good on the tongue and have all the essential Vitamins and minerals. Don't forget to take your Calcium too. I use the citracal Creamy Bites (sinfully good).

My family and I take Agel MIN pack once a day. My son loves it as they taste like a Flintstone. I reminds me of taking a Jello shot LOL. It is also able in your country. This is my post to tell you more about me and why I am in this community. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18/i-want-help-ronnie-sipgel-biz-41945/ I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
