i have heard Bariatric Advantage are good, although I have never tried them.

I buy TwinLabs - Barriatric Support for my wife and she likes them. They are also less expensive than Bariatric Advantage. (If you buy them on Amazon :) )

I take 2 flinstone complete chewable Multivitamins, GNC B-12 sublingual, and a small Iron pill (only pill besides PPI/prilosec that isn't chewable). You do not have to take the bariatric brands, just check with your nutritionist to make sure that whatever you choose is ok.

I take the Celebrate multi complete twice a day this includes Iron and all the b's. For Calcium I take the Calcet citrate Creamy Bites three times a day which includes vit D. I also use the my med schedule app which texts me when its time to take them, they have to be spaced 2 hours apart.

Try liquid Floridex for Iron, it'll absorb MUCH better. I like the Gummy vits so if you can find these is a much more tasty option. I have liquid B12 that tastes good too.

After 4 months I finally found a multi Vitamin I like. They are ameriwell tabs and you dissolve them in Water and it makes a little "jello shot" that you slide down- tastes like a vitamin Jello but not gritty and has a great dose of all that I need and only 15 a month. Some may not like the hassle of making jello each week but I make a weeks worth at a time and I will actually take these- my chewable just sit there- I don't like chewing them and so I put them off and then end up not taking them.

Oh, good suggestion! Never heard of the jello approach. I tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate tabs and capsules, respectively. Both made me hurl. Next I tried a trader joe high potency tab. That worked and tastes good to me. Now I am taking a GNC men's formula for active trainers, just what I need for high intensity running. I hope you find something that works and that you like.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
