VITAMINS AFTER GASTRIC SLEEVE?????



Recommended Posts

This thread is very interesting to me and surprising. My dietitian had me start the full regiment 3 months prior to surgery.

Vitamin consumption has been sorta difficult for me. I was on the chewables following the surgery until the 2 month period, when I switched to capsules. (For the record, the chewables were not my favorite and I was elated to switch to capsules). The only one that I find that makes me sick now can by the Multi-Vitamin that I take in the mornings. I've had to empty it into yogurt or blend it with a shake. Otherwise, after 20 minutes or so, I feel really nauseous and often throw up.

Hi 👋🏽 my doctor had me start on a chewable Multi Vitamin with Iron the day after surgery when I got home from the hospital. I’ve had no issue keeping them down. He also gave me a sample of a powder form that can be added to my Water both taste great to me the brand is Bariatric Fusion.

THAT DOES MAKE SENSE BUT IM SO WEAK AND EXHAUSTED.


I felt the same way days after my surgery, but it was a lack of calories,, I was told to take Vitamins after my two week dr’s visit .. it’ll get better and you’ll start feeling stronger once you get to stage 2 ,, purées foods

My Multi makes me sick too. I take it at night before bed and that helps . Careful though too that your multi doesn’t contain your Iron supplement, because you shouldn’t take that with dairy products like yogurt or shakes. I usually have mine with a rice cake and PB2 and it does a good job keeping the nausea at bay.

My doctor started me on Vitamins 2 weeks before surgery. It starts with the liquid pre-op diet.

Well I got the bypass but I started Day 3 (which was my first day home).

Flinstones compete and Celebrate chewables.

I am thinking about those Patches though.

      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!!
