Have you met with your NUT yet? He or she should tell you what to take.

I also ordered the Celebrate sample pack. I went to their site to figure out what was what!! One thing I did was sort them by type (you have multiple flavors of the same item) and I kept track of the flavors I liked so that I would know what to order.

i did sort them into what was on the package, the NUT gave me a run down on the basics, but not which of this brand i should take.

What did your NUT say? Maybe I can help you figure it out.

A couple childrens chewables and a Calcium supplement is what i need. but this sample pack has all kinds of stuff beyond that...i guess those are optional?

Absolutely!! Some of them are Vitamins specifically for RNY patients, some are extra Iron pills, there are a bunch of different types of Calcium.< /p>

In the end, my NUT wants me on a Multivitamin that contains Iron, additional iron, and calcium. I was able to find the items I needed based on that.

I hope this helps!!!

Lol, after reading tons of posts here I think I finally figured out what NUT meant - nutritionist? maybe Dietician? All this time I thought it meant your surgeon but I couldn't figure out how that came to be nut. Duh.

My doctor surgeon has me taking a sublingual Vitamin B12, a multi-B, a multi chewable Vitamin (I do Centrum), Calcium with D3 (love the chewable lemon Bariatric Advantage ones). I haven't seen the dietician yet but will in two weeks. She may add something more, not sure. They gave me a sheet I took into the pharmacies and scouted what I needed as I am not to do gels or capsules, but chewables or pills and no time-release.

      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!
