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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
