Vitamins!!!



Recommended Posts

My doctor/nutritionist said no pill Vitamins. So I take Gummy versions of both. I take VitaFusion for Women Gummy Multi Vitamin and VitaFusion Gummy Calcium +Vitamin D. These can both be found at Walmart for around $20 total and they are about a 2 month supply each. These taste great! Hope this helps.

I take pill Vitamins no problem, I take a multi d3 and b1. After a year on multi I was d3 and b1 deficient. Make sure they do your follow up bloodwork on time soooo important !

GNC Women's Ulta Mega has almost the same exact ingredients as Bariatric Advantage Vitaband chewables. Women's Ultra Mega is time released, significantly cheaper, actually higher potency of some of the Vitamins included, but you do have to swallow two big pills.

I don't have a problem swalling pills. And Lord knows I take about a zillion fish oil caps a day. So, GNC Women's Ultra Mega works well for me.

Back when I first got the band I used to take gummies or double dose of Flinstones chewables, but if you compare the Vitamin dose in those to Bariatric Advantage or Women's Ultra Mega, you will be dismayed to see they don't even come close!

I've also decided to pick up a bottle of Bariatric Advantage Biotin supplement. Last time I lost a lot of weight, my hair kept falling out. I hear Biotin is good for help with that.

Vitafusion multi, Vitafusion B-complex both are Gummy form and Calcium plus D the Viactive type chocolate chews (but I get the store brand version) taste like tootsie rolls.

I get both of my VitaFusions at Walmart. The Womens Multi might be a little difficult to find. But they should have the regular adult Gummy and the Calcium in stock. I hope you can find them!

I've been taking the One-A-Day Women's minis with no problems. Nature Made fish oil also makes a mini now.

Yesterday when I went to the nutritionist she said not to take the gummies as they are missing 2 of the Vitamins.

My doc and nutritionist ok'd them for me. They just did a blood draw last week to check my Vitamin levels and I should hear back in two weeks. Have to admit that I am curious if its all good.

      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.
