Post-Op Vitamins & Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Per my surgeon and NUT I should be taking Calcium, a Mutli-Vitamin and B12. My surgeon says that it takes close to two years to become B12 deficient. But B12 is obviously great for energy. I am pretty sure my program recomends 2000 B12 over the course of a week and 1000 Calcium in a day.

What is everybody else doing?

i have been taking Bariactric fusion chew-able Vitamins. taste is not bad at all and there is no chalkiness or after taste. i also had blood work done last week and everything came back normal so i would say that they definitely work .

How many are you taking a day. The nice part about this one seems that it has both Calcium and B12 in the multi-Vitamin. Right now I take three different supplements (Multi, B12, Calcium)

i take 3 or 4 daily. it suggest 4 per day for bypass patients , 3 per day for sleeve patients and 2 per day for band patients.

i like it because its a one stop shop for all the essential Vitamins i need, no need for a cabinet of vitamins when i take this. price aint bad either for what you get.

Without my B12 shots I woudn't be able to get out of bed most days. The Multivitamin I take to feel better. I use to take a nasty liquid one, so I switched to flinstons gummies. Its like a treat. Don't stick with nasty Vitamin. You can find decent ones out there.

I just ordered a bottle of Bariatric fusion and comparing the B12 Im getting with what is recommended, I am clearly not getting enough. Until it comes I'm gonna up my dose of the current B12 sublingual I have.

Thanks all!

        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!

      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
