I didn't have gastric, but I have been looking into the same thing as I don't think I am getting enough from food intake. I am looking into the liquid vitamins and Patches now.

I had to switch to chewable Flintstones because regular Multi Vitamins make me very nauseous.

I just take two Centrum Silvers (or the generic equivalent) every day. I also have to take B12, B1, D, Calcium, and Iron in separate pills on top of that since we need more of those than are in standard Multivitamins (at least gastric bypass patients do). It could be that the bariatric specific multivitamins include most/all of the extra we need - but I'm not sure. I've never take bariatric specific ones.

Are you able to cut them? Maybe you could cut it in half and take it twice a day to help you tolerate them?

I just take ALIVE Gummy one-a-day Vitamins and separately Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium pills. I have the RX B12 nasal spray. I don't know if I am doing enough but I will find out in another 2 1/2 months when I do lab work again.

(I also take Biotin and collagen pills for my hair, even though there is a lot of debate on whether that actually works with Hair loss. I read it helps with regrowth, so I will continue to take it - even though I haven't experienced the dreaded hair loss yet).

I take Flinstones chewable 2 per day. I had bought bariatric45 90 day supply and I cant tolerate them at this point. I am hoping that may change later on.

I take 1 Bariatric Complete multivitamin and 2 Celebrate multivitamins (without Iron for the Celebrate) a day. And 2 calcium citrate from Bariatric Advantage (my Calcium was high last test so I cut back to 2, I was taking 3). The Celebrate multi's are the easiest on my stomach.

I've been taking BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE capsules for six months. I've had my blood work done twice and everything is fine. I've had no problem tolerating the capsule. Also, BariatricPal's Multivitamin annual subscription (four bottles) costs much lower than most other bariatric multivitamins.

I can’t seem to stand the taste of the Bariatric Fusion Orange anymore. I bought them for the simple fact I would only need to buy B12. Any suggestions for ones that taste good??

      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!
