Question..vitamins And Supplements



Recommended Posts

I take these: http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Alive-Liquid-Citrus/dp/B00125VQ78 before surgery I took the same but in a pill now liquid. I love those Vitamins because you get everything your body needs. (taste is not that great in liquid but great multi, I can actually feel the energy from it. I also take Gummy Calcium.< /p>

I take a fish oil called Coromega Omega 3 Orange. It is a squeeze pouch that doesn't taste too bad. I guess a lot of parents use it for their children. No fishy smells. Kind of like a creamsicle' date=' but not quite.

I would buy off of Amazon.com, as I was in a supplement store yesterday and they charge over 30 for the same thing I paid 17.

I ordered my first set of Vitamins from unjury. They are called O-Purity and are band specific. I did a comparison on my blog between these, Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, Flinstones, and Centrum chewable. The cheapest was Flintstones (0.08 per day), Centrum (0.10), O-Purity (0.30), Celebrate (0.42), and Bariatric Advantage (0.45).

Interestingly, my surgeon's material recommends the Centrum chewables, which you can usually get for 8-10 a bottle. I decided to go with O-purity because the ingredients do not come from China and unlike the other two bariatric Vitamins, you only have to take one Vitamin a day vs two.

I would say if you went with the Centrium, make sure to buy an additional Biotin supplement, a B12 sublingual, and the Calcium + vit D/K chews. I found the Biotin and B12 at Walmart for approx 10 for both. I buy my 180 chews at Costco/Sam's Club for 11.

Thank you so much for the info on the Coromegas! My PCP called last week to let me know my triglycerides are in the 300s so I need to get going on it. Itll improve post banding too. This Wednesday is my placement day!!!
