Tell me your best vitamin tips with gastric bypass

Anyone here in my county gets put on gummies by the bariatric team so you can just suck them and let them dissolve easily. So weird how it is so different depending on where we are! -
Pre and Post surgery resources
Bianca S. replied to SassyTwin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use my Apple Watch, and Baritastic app to log my weight, intake, water intake. The app also has recipes you can try that are meant for Bariatric patients, the weight log portion also has milestones for you to achieve which motivates me more. You can use a reminder feature that I use to remind me to take my vitamins. You can put a checklist you need to do, and you can do more as well! -
I can’t find the right protein shake!!!
Frustr8 replied to VSG.girl19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The hospital sponsoring the Bariatric Support Group I attend, not my Surgical one, it has ONLY evening meetings, seems to Recommend Celebrate items. But it (KCH here in Mount Vernon) and mine ( OSU- WEXNER Medical Center in Columbus) seem to be getting into the Shake/Bariatric Shake business, must be a Coming Thing. But a semi- humorous FYI, when I was rehospitalized November- December 2018 they fed me Liquicell, did They Change Their Mind or is it a case of " Do As I Say, not As I Do" Leads a curious PERSON as I Am to wonder just why? -

Accepted into the bariatric program... Again.
deewill3 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I started the bariatric program a year and a half ago, and bailed out at the time for a handful of reasons (excuses.) Recently I decided that if I keep waiting for the right time to do this, it will never come, and I took the leap and asked to join the bariatric program again. They called me yesterday and scheduled my nutrition class, and my support group meetings. I already did the orientation, So I don't have to take that again. I'm nervous. Not necessarily for the surgery itself, but the possibility of regain, cosmic life changes, and how it will change the way I live life daily. What is/was everyone's fears prior to surgery? If you've had the surgery, how did you handle the struggles and fears? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app -

So I'm reading the thread and got curious about the procare health bariatric multivitamins. I've never heard about it before but if im not mistaken i could swear i saw it in my nut office few months back. So if you don't mind me asking you only take both vitamins once a day correct?

Contmplating the Gastric Sleeve

Prepare yourself by looking at the positives you will get out of bariatrics. Sipping water and not drinking with meals becomes a new normal. The changes you make are worth your weight loss results. -

Frustr8 replied to Panda333's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Well my Bariatric Program at The O.S.U.- WEXNER Medical Center in Columbus has had me on Prenatal Vitamins from the Get Go. Had to switch from Spring Valley to Natures Bounty" Healthy Mom "variety because of insufficient Vitamin A, I now have to have 1000 mg as well as a 10000 mg liquigel perle once a day. Already taking 1 '323mg Ferrocite. for. iron deficiency/ anemia. My Way of swallowing meds- Take sip of fluid- hold on mouth- throw/toss pills in- let them float down as I swallow- VICTORY! Absolutely LOATHED grinding meds- once I could go back to regular, I practically trampled people in my way! I may have dentures but I find NO ENJOYMENT in grinding and chewing Bariatric vitamins- still have a bottle of Bari- Melts but only use them when I have misplaced the others and I get cranky/ crabby if That Occurs. -
Day 12 Rest day was welcomed [emoji108]🧡 Favorite hobby: I completed a book I started a week ago! Day 13: On my way to Vegas for a girlfriends weekend. Will complete squats as soon as I check in. I don't think I'll be watching a movie so no distractions there. We may catch a good show, we'll see... First trip post OP. Only my husband knows about my surgery so I'll see how eating goes.... slightly terrified. I've not gone off plan ONCE so this will be a test of willpower. B side question: New Habits: Trying to get in 15K steps daily. Always on Bariatric Pal site Tracking food and water: Never say never! Didn't think this was going to be possible for me but I'm doing it daily! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Failed attempts of Medical weight loss? Independence Blue Cross
MIchelle Rosanna posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does anyone have Independence Blue Cross, Comcast is my employer. If so, what was required for the “documented failed attempts of medical weight loss”? I throughly read the entire Bariatric policy and it does not state exactly what their looking for. Thank you in Advance -
Anyone NOT track their calories?
Healthy_life2 replied to bodycando's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Congratulations on 9 months out and 102 pounds lost. You may want to follow your therapist advice if they are concerned about your eating disorder. To track or not to track? Great question. It’s important to know yourself. What works for one person may not work for another. Choose what will make you successful long term. You are the only one who has to be happy with your weight loss. Some can consistently lose weight without logging. They eat healthy and keep their calories low. For others it’s hard to lose weight/maintain guessing calories and macros. Your restriction becomes less over time. Extra calories can slip back in. Tracking can help with the bariatric basics. It’s a great tool to learn portions, stay in your weight loss calorie zone, and protein goals. It helps change old behaviors and gives you some accountability. This does not mean you have to log lifelong. To each their own. -

Anyone NOT track their calories?
bodycando replied to bodycando's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's good to hear that this is also working for you too--I was also never told to count calories by my bariatric nutritionist or surgeon, rather they gave me guidelines to stay within (i.e. no refined sugar, always whole grain, eat five times a day, etc.) My nutritionist actually wants me to eat more carbs... different strokes I guess! -

Anyone NOT track their calories?
looly replied to bodycando's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't track calories or weigh food and was never told to by the surgeon or the bariatric nurse. I was just told to 'eat small, eat healthy'. I keep a food diary and record my weight weekly, but that's all. Food doesn't control me any more, so I don't want to spend more time thinking about it than I do currently. It's just there when I need it. -
Tell me your best vitamin tips with gastric bypass
Darktowerdream replied to Panda333's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yes I’m taking 5-6 different vitamins, I decided to not take b complex right now. I am on a very tight disability budget, I shop where I can get lower prices and extra savings both coupons and rebates through a site called Rakuten. But I do my best to budget in important things. I take gummy vitamins so what, we aren’t supposed to take tablets for the first few months post op. I talked to my nutritionist she said as long as there isn’t more than 4 grams of sugar in it it’s fine. They are easier to chew and I couldn’t find bariatric vitamins without added iodine. Things like centrum just go right through you. I just looked for more food based vitamins in a chewable form. Vitamins are very important after gastric bypass surgery. A single multivitamin especially just a basic one that isn’t food based or bio available won’t do much. Also your vitamins are adapted based on bloodwork and your own personal needs. if people want to rake me over the coals for what vitamins I take or what kind. Or if it looks expensive When All I did was answer a question. Then I guess I won’t comment anymore. If I could go back and remove my comments then I would. -

whoops - I take D3 and K2 as well - forgot to list those. K2 due to my osteoporosis - otherwise, it was not a requirement for my bariatric status. -

elcee replied to Panda333's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Generally your team will recommend what you need. I take one bariatric multi twice per day plus 1 magnesium and 2 vit D once per day. The Mag and D are something I have been taking for years. Its not hard but for some reason people are under the impression that it is .
