I'm currently awaiting to meet my surgeon to schedule my surgery. I've been taking B12 and b6 because its low.

Every Doctor is different so i was wondering what kind of Vitamins are you guys taking?

I want to start taking them because i don't want my Vitamin intake to be low when its time for surgery.

Thanks guys!

After my bloods were done I was told I only had to take a multi. Will see how it goes next time. I'm 8 weeks out.

What's your Vitamin schedule like? I'm not sleeved yet, but trying to get in to habit of taking Vitamins thoughout the day. I'm taking a prenatal multi (it has all the same as the multi +biotin), D3 (2x a day), B12 (sublingual, 1000mcg per week for now -- maybe more after surgery?)

Currently...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12

Noon --

Night -- D3

After surgery...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12, calcium citrate

Noon -- Iron

Night -- D3

Does this seem right? My nut gave me a sheet with instructions for Vitamins on my last visit with her. I read them when I got home, so it was too late to ask for guidance/clarification. I won't see her again until after surgery I think...

A friend said she had a hard time taking the Calcium with all the other morning pills, but I'd prefer to just get them done if it works for me. I was thinking maybe calcium at noon, then Iron with the D3 at night, but if D3 helps with the calcium absorption, should I not put them together? Ugh I have no idea what I'm doing!

      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.
