The best Vitamins to take after weight loss surgery?



Recommended Posts

What are the best Vitamins to take after surgery? My surgery is tomorrow, my dr office doesn’t have a specific brand I have to use but I’m getting a lot of mixed reviews online. Can anyone help?

Personally, I have always taken Bariatric Vitamin. I know some DR's say FLINTSTONE with Iron is OK. But...you go thru a surgery (a big one too) and due to needing Vitamins for the rest of your life I have always took formulated Bariatric vitamins. I use Celebrate. They come in a capsule formula. My Dr told me that they can be broken apart and sprinkled on some food. Luckily I started out taking Centrum chewable I didn't last long because they were way too sweet for me. Then I went the other way, easy taking them too. I do think we need Bariatric vitamins why take a chance of not getting the vitamins we need. Good Luck with your upcoming surgery!! Have a great Sunday and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

I take two Flinstone's chewables

500 IU Calcium with D twice a day

B12

and BComplex

Daily

I've got a heavy duty pill crusher, it makes powder out of the calcium pills. I just sprinkle the powder on a spoon full of yogurt or oatmeal or whatever....down the hatch. Easy peasy.

I take a Bariatric chewable one. Tastes sorta like flinstone ones. I also have the one [mention=330039]Creekimp13[/mention] has and I think one other, but I haven’t been approved to start taking them yet. My doctor said just the chewable for the first couple of weeks.

I’ll start the rest when he gives me the clear.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
