I am 7 weeks out - I am taking all normal vitamins/meds. I do have to break some meds into two so they go down easier.

I take calcium citrate in tablet form, Iron in capsule form, acid reducer in capsule form and Bariatric Advantage multi Vitamin in capsule form. Been swallowing capsules since I was in the hospital.

I started taking regular Vitamins about 6 weeks out. Have you tried Flintstones chewables ? That is what my doctor recommends right after surgery.

My doctor told me my Nutritanist will educate me on that but it beginning 2 be a pain I email her and she wants me 2 come in the office so I will have 2 pay her $45 a visit when I only asked her can I take the biartric Multi Vitamins in capsule form that's in the brochure she gave us with samples in it cause the liquid vitamins is making me sick on the stomach I just can't stomach them anymore

R they hard 2 swallow

Nope not at all..but one day at about two and a half weeks out I forgot I was sleeved and popped five pills (two multi Vitamin, two Calcium, and my acid reducer) all at once and had kind of an OSM as they were going down.. but nothing happened, I didn't even feel them. The biggest pills are the calcium citrate.. I take the "petite" size which are only petite, when compared to the regular size "horse pill" calcium supplements. The Multivitamin capsules from Bariatric Advantage are smaller than my acid reducer or the antibiotic capsule I was prescribed after surgery.

I take the Flinstones chewables.. It works well I take mine and my son takes his! He thinks its funny that his old mom is taking the same vitamins!! Lol. I also take the solutabs of Prevacid and a B12. Thru actually taste good.. Cherry flavor!! :-) the only actual pill I take and I've been taking since the day I came home from the hospital is my synthroid. But it's a very small pill.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
