What Vitamins Do You Take?

[sonshine823 2]

Am getting sleeved in October and was jut wondering what the post-op Vitamins routine is.

[PdxMan 4,292]

Calcium with Vitamin D (calcium bonds with D for better absorption)

B12 sublingual

probiotic

Multi-Vitamin

Amount varies as my blood tests are done. Mostly my B12. Started with 1 a week, but then went to every other day as my levels were too low. Now I do every three days as my levels were high ...

I take an assortment of Vitamins. I take a Multivitamin, Iron, B12, B complex, calcium chews, bioitin, and silica. I also take omeprazole because my body has difficulties with high fats and sugars. It gives me stomach problems. I do forget to take my vitamins though. I have a blood panel coming up next month and it will be my last visit to the surgeon's office at 10 months post op. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I have had no complications.

My surgeon has his own line of Vitamins called Enspira. If you google it you will find them. They are a good blend and fairly inexpensive. I also take Andrew Lessman's hair, Skin and Nail supplement, B12 and Vitamin D just for added nutrients!

Who did your surgery? Dr. Ortiz did mine. But the capsule are huge! And not only does it hurt at times when I swallow even with 3 sips of Water or soy milk, you must take four daily! I compared the nutrient facts to a one-a-day and it tops the on-a-day but I know start to gag from how many pills I am taking:(

Flintstones Complete chewable multivitamin

Celebrate's B12 sublingual (daily, not weekly)

Celebrate's Calcium PLUS 500 (includes Vitamin D)

That's it for "vitamins".

I never had an issue with taking pills and the Vitamins are normal sized pills from what I have seen. Even though it says to take 4 I take 1 or 2 daily and I also take an additional B12 and Vitamin D supplement that I get online from Andrew Lessman. The capsules are small, about 1/2 the size of Enspira. Andrew Lessman also makes a hair, Skin and Nails supplement that I swear by! My nails have never looked better, my skin is glowing and I have had very minimal Hair loss.< /p>

I get my silica from health food store. You can also find it on line too. I also take Biotin in addition and my hair is really growing fast.

I take a chewable multi with Iron, sub-lingual B-12 and two calcium chews with Vitamin D. My last blood test showed me low on vitamin E so I take and extra one of those, once a week.
