Liquid Vitamins...???



Recommended Posts

Best are the ones you get at the Health food store-they are all natural and most are organic. Mix with some juice and it's a no brainer. The only thing is the greenish color...lol...get over it

They also have a nice fruity flavor-unlike Centrum which tasted very metallic to me...

I have used "Source of Life" liquid Vitamins for years (for some reason, Vitamins in pill form upset my tummy). I love them, they are all natural AND include spirulina which is an awesome supplement for overall health. (I'd love to find Spirulina in a liquid form to take straight, but I've been lazy and haven't located any).

Anyway, the "Source of Life" line is pretty good stuff. I get it at my local health food store.

Has anyone taken "liquid" Iron. September will be 3 years since my surgery and recently I have found that my blood is very low...(it was a 7 before giving me 3 units of blood). After three days in the hospital and they find no bleeding, the doctors have come to the conclusion that it is an iron deficiency (or at least for the most part). I simply cannot take the tablets of iron, looking for something in liquid to build my level up quickly.

I have heard of Iron that disolves under your tounge, but don't know anything about it.

Good luck!

I hope that your feeling better soon!

There definately is liquid Iron you can take. Ask your pharmacist the next time you go in because they usually store it behind the counter. I was on the pill form prior to surgery and asked my pharmacist and that's how I got the liquid form. I have to admit though the taste isn't very good at all. I haven't had to take it for quite some time but, you might also want to ask if you can flavor it.

Good luck.

Bariatriceating.com has a chewable Iron tablet. It is very small and the one I got is strawberry. I take it with my chewable Vitamin from there as well. Since I only live about a 45 minute drive from there, I have gone in and sampled all their stuff before buying it. If anyone ever gets the chance to go to their store in South Florida, it is well worth the trip. There is nothing in the store that you can't sample. Since all this diet stuff is so expensive, it really makes a difference to test it out first. They actually have a tasting bar, and you can pick all the flavors and combinations you want.

Try chewable prenatal Vitamins. They taste just like flintstone vitamins. My physican wrote me a script for them and I got them free at my pharmacy because they have some program where prenatal vitamans are free.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
