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.

http://www.amazon.com/Coromega-Omega-3-Supplement-Squeeze-90-Count/dp/B000FFQATA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333299205&sr=8-1

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!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
