Supplements / Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Check with your surgeon to see what they require you take. For example, bypass seem to have to take a wider range of Vitamins than sleeve & they have to take some of them forever. Plus, your own needs should be taken into consideration: what does your blood test show you are low in? Some surgeons don’t want you swallowing meds for a period of time after surgery too so that will influence the type of vitamins you take (patch, gummies, spray, capsules, …)

Vitamins can be difficult to take after surgery, they can make you nauseous & are expensive. If you don’t need to take certain ones don’t - you’ll only pee out the excess you don’t need.

I only had to take a multi Vitamin & a Vitamin D after my surgery. The vitamin D was stopped after a couple of months & I stopped the multi vitamin at about 8 months (2 months after goal). My blood tests showed I didn’t need the . The only supplement my regular blood tests show I need is a Vitamin D in winter when my levels temporarily drop (I hibernate in winter).

My team have me on Calcium, Multivitamins and a Vitamin B12 injection every 3 months. Like pre op diets, every team wants a different set

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
