Surgery next week -- which vitamins do I get?



Recommended Posts

Hi y'all! :) I have my surgery (AHHHHH!) scheduled for this upcoming TUESDAY! Today is Friday. I have NOT yet purchased my Vitamins. I have the paper sitting in front of me. I've attached a picture since I'm confused about the second column (regimen). I need to take a bariatric supplement that has Calcium & B-12. Some of them have Iron in them already. Can someone help explain what the second column means?

I'm SUPER worried about the Hair loss aspect...I was told that the BEST vitamins on the market are the Bariatric Advantage Advanced EA Multivitamin.

What vitamins do you recommend as a first time surgery patient? I know the above ones I mentioned are the most expensive, but I was told they're the best of the best...is that true?

I was very slack with my Vitamins they made me feel awful, I stopped taking them and all my blood work has been fine. If your is going to fall out it will fall out nothing you can do about that.

Absolutely. I firmly believe Vitamins are unnecessary with a careful diet. And blood tests to confirm.

My doctors office uses the Bariatric Fusion and says others aren't as good. Another case of Dr by Dr opinion. I started using mine prior to surgery since my primary said I was a tad low (still recovering from severe Iron definciency anemia and all my numbers have climbed and every is almost normal again). For me so far prior to surgery the Bariatric fusion capsules haven't caused me an issue and they come with or without 45mg Iron. We will see if I need to keep taking them after a year but it won't hurt is my thought.

      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! 😞
