Multivitamin is for life. The others will vary depending on how your labs come out when you have them done.

Good luck!! :)

I take prevasit first thing in the morning then 2 calcium citrate pills and my multi Vitamin after dinner. My doctor and nutrionist said I will be taking these for the rest of my life.

That's interesting because the Celebrate were the only ones I did like! We really all must taste things differently. :) I spit out the Bariatric Advantage ones...couldn't stand them.

Ok so pretty much everybody is just on a Multivitamin is what I'm getting from yalls replies. All my Vitamin levels were within normal limits when I had my blood drawn at the hospital except my Calcium was a little low. I'm just so sick of taking all these Vitamins ugh . I think the dr just gives us that vitamin regimen cause we buy them from Bariatric Advantage as a preop vitamin package prior to surgery what a waste of dinero :-p thanks everyone for the input :-)

Omg I could tolerate the Bariatric Advantage while doing my preop diet but post op not no but hell no as soon as that Vitamin goes down my mouth starts watering and I have to use everything in my power to not vomit ugh so the dr told me to crush it and put it in my Protein shake so that's been working for me cause I'm determined to finish that big bottle since I paid for those darn bariatric advantage Vitamins haha!!!

Ideally, you should take your Calcium at least 2 hours apart from any other Vitamins, including your multi. Calcium can prevent other vitamins, especially Iron, from absorbing properly. I usually take my multi in the morning and at night with breakfast/dinner. I take my calcium around lunch and late afternoon with lunch, some days I only take one. If you're younger, you don't need as much calcium as you might think. My calcium levels came in just fine on my last labs and I am 36.

I believe it is like an antacid but on my own I stopped taking it , thinking I didn't need it anymore and when I had my 1 month check up the doctor said I had to continue taking it.

      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.

        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!
