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!

      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.
