Multi vitamins!! HELP



Recommended Posts

I just ordered Bariatric Advantage Multi Vitamin which is a chewable and it is absolutely disgusting. Literally, makes me sick. The cool thing is that they have everything I need except Calcium so I'm only taking 2 Vitamins and 2 chewables per day. My surgeon did not approve me taking the patch and says their isn't enough research on them. Anyone have a better tasting multi vitamin that has everything? Trying to get this sorted before surgery next Wednesday

Thanks!

My NUT/Doc approved me to take Centrum Silver chewables since anything else made me gag. I have to take a double dose daily and Calcium. I also take Iron because I had an iron deficiency prior to surgery & have taken it for years.

Yes. He didn't have any experience with them but with my labs looking good and me having no issues he is fine with them.

I'd recommend talking to them about letting you try the Patches and seeing how your blood work looks. I've been using them for 6 months and all is good. I admit, I only switched to them after someone else seeing my surgeon was a 'guinea pig' and tried them for a few months and did regular blood work as well. So they do seem to work, and I love that I don't have to chew anything, and it prevents me from having take them with food to prevent an upset stomach.

I use the Centrum adult chewables (not the silver) it tastes like orange. I also take two calcium chews. And liquid Iron at the moment which tastes foul. Apparently I have to be on the liquid iron until 6 weeks post op... ugh

I know! I love the idea of them. Girl I've pleaded he just said there isn't enough research to back it. I find that strange because everyone I know who takes the patches have great success

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
