My doctor spent an entire visit just on the vitamin/ supplement information. Have you had surgery yet? Blood work should be done routinely after surgery to better dictate what your body needs. It will show what your specific body is deficient in. I take Bariatric Fusion--- 2 tabs in the am and 2 in the pm. Plus I take calcium citrate supplement total of 1500mg per day.

Ok- that makes me feel better. For the first 6 months you may end up taking lots of medications. I also take Atigal which will help prevent gallstones. And Postassium and magnesium and Prilosec. Your nutritionist and doctor should go over all that stuff- and if they don't - to me that would be a red flag to go somewhere else.

Usually a year after surgery when you can get more nutrients from food- you should be able to take a regular Multivitamin. But you should look into ones now that are specific for weight loss surgery.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
