Vitatmins - what should I start taking pre-op?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious if anyone had a good recommendation of what types of vitiamins I should start taking now. My surgery is a month away in Mexico, but I want to give my body a head start.

Actually I'm kind of curious about pre-natals. Has anyone been taking those for your Vitamin intake?

I have been taking prenatal (other Vitamins make me sick) for my pre-op and no problem, my nutritionist said take what you normally do pre-op then after I have to use Bariatric Advantage

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
