All I take is one adult Vitamin in the morning along with 2 Calcium tablets and then in the evening I take 2 calcium tablets. The B12 I only have to do once a week. Again it's funny how so many doctors differ in their requirements.

My chewable vvitamins can be crushed or chewed... I tried chewing them and up they came.. crushed and put in my Protein Shake and it works perfectly!

Vitamins make me extremely nauseous as well. I hate it! But the only thing I have found for me that works is to NEVER, NEVER take them on an EMPTY stomach! DO that and it's a for sure deal hugging the porcelain God for me. Since I don't like to eat Breakfast, I take them with some yogurt every morning. So far it has been working like a charm. Good luck. (PS. I am switching to prenatal vitamins...one a day..period.not including Calcium, Biotin, etc. but it certainly cuts down on the 8 others i was taking before!)

I have been told and have read that you cant take your Multivitamin within 4 hrs of your Calcium or it will cancel out the calcium .....So I take 2 chewable multivitamin 8 a.m , 12p calcium, calcium at 4pm , 8pm calcium.I get a B12 shot monthly. Also I was told and read that your body can only absorb 500mg of calcium at a time and anymore then that will be waisted............so much different information out there is overwhelming sometimes..........not sure what is what, but this is my regiment. There is liquid calcium and mulitvitimin but they taste just as bad and made me nautious more then the pills.:(

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
