I get all mine at Walmart and Target. Did your surgen tell you exactly what to take? It can be bad to take Iron if you are not low on Iron .........

Mine told me to use adult Centrum chewable and I take a couple other things ....

My doctor said Flintstone chewables with Choline (look for that not all versions have it). I buy store brand at costco for a lot less. I also take Caltrate Plus chewables (2), Vitafusion D gummies (2), Vitafusion Fiber gummies, Iron 65 mg (from drug store), Biotin 5,000 mg (drug store). FYI I was told not to take Vitamins the two weeks prior to surgery and the two weeks after.

I am allowed Centrum chewables. I ordered O-purity mult's from Unjury but will test the centrum next. I buy chewable Iron at a local Vitamin store due to low iron and I have purchased a sublingual B12 and a B complex liquid from Walmart.< /p>

My surgeon required a multi and chewable calciums. I also electively take Biotin.< /p>

Good morning everyone!!!

A. Three weeks before your surgery you will need to start taking an Iron supplement, a total of 325mg per day of ferrous sulfate, or 65mg of elemental Iron.

B. Three weeks before your surgery you will also need to begin taking a multiple Vitamin and a B-Complex Vitamin. These can be purchased over the counter.

This is what my surgean asked me to take. I got the multivitamins chewables and Iron and the B-complex but I couldnt find the chewable kind.

      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
