Vitamin/protein gummies when?



Recommended Posts

I was told to start taking Vitamins in the 2nd week post-op. There's no requirements about gummies or not, but I bought a whole bunch in anticipation of not being able to take larger pills post op. In actual fact I can take most pills, but I'm going to start with the gummies since they won't last that long here in Japan in the summer heat - so I might as well finish them now while it's cool.

I bought some Multivitamin gummies when I'd left my chewables at home a few weeks ago. I've had them a few times no problem and am 9 weeks post-op.

I was put on a Vitamin regimen just like the above poster on day ten. I also recently started taking Biotin in hopes of avoiding some of the expected Hair loss.

We have to start them the minute we get a surgical date.

Where does everyone get their vitamins/supplements from? I'm curious about ordering from Nutrion direct, $25/monthly with multivitamin, Iron, Calcium and B12 included, home delivered and automatically sends after you sign up. But sounds too good.

My nutritionist said gummies are not allowed because the body doesn't absorb the nutrients as well. She suggests chewable only. I use BariMelts. I order them from Amazon and they are tolerable. The Calcium and Biotin are actually very tasty, but I'm hoping to get cleared to switch to a pill at my 3 month post op.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
