Hello,

I am trying to find a Vitamin with Thiamine in it. I am currently using Vitafusion Multivitamin and i prefer a Gummy Vitamin. Does your vitamin have thiamine and what brand is it? My nutritionist says that after surgery I need a vitamin with thiamine.

Thank you kindly for any feedback!

Best,

Sannah

Thiamin is just B1 so you can buy a bottle of B1. I don't know if the multivitamin's have enough B1, but I take One A Day Women's as well as Spring Valley B1, half a tablet.

Thiamine is very important!! My Dr.'s seminar before surgery they stress how important the Vitamins are!! Thiamine was one they stressed! They had a patient back in the hospital with severe stroke like symptoms!!! She was very very ill. Test showed no stroke but that she was extremely deficient in Thiamine! This story really stuck with me, make sure you get enough!!!

      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.
