What Vitamins Do You Take



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Dec 23rd, i never started on any Vitamins but i feel like i should have. So i want to start. I went to Walmart and got a Multivitamin, bioten (sp), Fiber, and a Vitamin b complex. Is there anything else that i should be taking. I seen some people taking papya enzymes. So i wanted to check to see what other people are taking..

My dr recommended a chewable multivitamin and a chewable Calcium supplement. I take the chewable Flintstones Complete Multivitamins but haven't started the calcium supplement yet. I feel like a kid again, kindof how I think I will feel when I get to my goal weight!

I take a Flintstone with Iron and a Centrum Silver chewable.< /p>

FWIW most chewable Vitamins are not as complete as the regular tabs.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
