good prenatal vitamin for band



Recommended Posts

I have been having trouble with the prenatals the OB gave me. I seem to burp them up and they are so horrible! It makes me literally gag. Do you have a favorite prenatal that you used or know of one that is chewable and doesn't taste horrible? Thanks!

Hi....I'm 16 weeks now. At first I was using this blueberry flavor pre-natal chewable from the doc that made me literally gag, so I switched over to ONE A DAY PRE-NATAL....It's 2 pills, you have to swallow, but I've been using them for a few months now and they are perfect.

I'm using Select OB+DHA, but I did have to have my band unfilled because of another pill I was taking just a week or two before pregnancy.

I take the GNC brand prenatal Vitamins without any problems. Another option could be to continue taking your usual Multi-Vitamin and add a folic acid supplement. From what I've heard, the folic acid is the most important Vitamin you need to beef up one when your pregnant (or trying to get pregnant like me!).

Walgreens has a line called Finest Naturals...they only have one pre-natal that u can take 2 ways... Take one as a women's one-a-day (i can't take ANY OTHER BRAND without getting very very sick)...or take 2 as a pre natal.....they are VERY small & cause no reflux or nausea!!!!!! AND....they're not expensive...bonus! Lol

I like these and have been taking them for a while - http://www.amazon.co...wms_ohs_product

I have taken these before and liked them but I can't imagine swallowing them now. Did you get all or most of your fill taken out so that you could take these?

Funny you should ask, I didnt have much restriction until getting pregnant, now between the band and morning sickless I can't keep anything down. Started taking the Omni IV liquid Vitamin supplement and a separate chewable B6 and folate. Have an appt next week to get an unfill so that I can eat again. At the moment I'm even having problems with liquids.< /p>

I feel your pain..I had my band completely emptied and no problems with holding things down...I did develop acid reflux...despite I feel no refulx but I still have issues about 2 x a week and only when I cough.

I take NEEvo dha--=no side affects at all...no bad taste.no burping..I actually take it at night. Good luck

Vitafusion gummies. But they don't have Iron so you need to take a supplement.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
