Protein and Vitamins usually boil to quality and tolerance.

I LIke RTD protein like premier and EAS mainly because i can still stomach them

Many people only use bariatric vitamins and thats worth looking into, i use sams club or equate brands that boasts of being compared national brands because they cost less

Safe journey!

I was told to get my Protein from food sources but starting out I wasn't using any powders. I was drinking Protein Shakes.

As for Vitamins, I went from taking some bariatric Multivitamin that I checked out upon recommendation, Bariatric Fusion, I believe. They were okay at first but then the chalkiness just made it gross and I could taste the vitamins in the Vitamin. I bought a big bottle off Amazon. They were chewables.< br>
Now I switched to gummies. I love those way more. They're by Vitafusion, you can buy those at Walmart, Amazon and Rite Aid. Walmart is the best bet when it comes to value though. At least to me. I take my vitamins in either pill form, by shot or the gummies.

Might want to start off with chewable vitamins and go from there since you'll be just starting out. Not sure if they'd let you take gummies so soon.

      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.

        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!
