Post Op Vitamins And Supplements



Recommended Posts

Ok I googled the topic and found this awesome link to a comparison chart it is so comprehensive with the authors opinion on taste ' date=' cost analysis broken down to cost per day not per pill/tab because some have you take 1 or 2 or even 3 here it is

Darn wish it would highlight as a link darn iPad[/quote']

So, this is very informative. I do not see the one you use recommended. Would you change your recommendation or stick with what you have?

I take a Gummy multi and vit D from Walmart and was getting B12 injections but my nutritionist freaked when my blood levels came back, the B12 was way too high so now I just take the sublingual. I also take Iron (for menstruating Women it's a must), Calcium, sometimes when I remember I add vit E, Biotin, and vit C..oh and a probiotic.

I actually am pre op and bought the opurity by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury I gave its stats toward the beginning of the thread. Seems comprehensive will be discussing it with my dr tomorrow. The taste wasn't tooooooo bad may need to test a few to find the one I like not that I won't be using all the others cause of the cost.

Caltrate is Calcium carbonate. I was told the best calcium for us is calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is the same thing in tums. It's not easily absorbed by RNY patients.

Citrical is the most popular brand of calcium citrate but so far I haven't found it in chewable form. For now I'm taking the Bariatric Advantage calcuum citrate chewable lozenges. It's like chewing a big chunk of chalk. Blech!!!!

The Dr, dietician and pharmacist know and said those were great to take. Maybe each Dr is different on their preference.

Why do you take prenatal pills?

      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.
