Pre-natal vitamins



Recommended Posts

I am pre-op until tomorrow 7:30-AM, but I wanted to know if anyone takes any pre-natal Vitamin in addition to the other Vitamins.

I am concerned with my nails and especially my hair falling out.

Thank you.

I should state that I am not pregnant, but you probably figured that much, since I am having surgery tomorrow. LOL

My doc said pre natal are good Vitamins for RNY. It does have most of what we need. My vitamins are powder form that I add to my Protein Shake, but on the days I don't do a shake I will take pre natal

I have a question about vitimans. I'm a pre op and I'm trying to learn as much as I can before my surgery. Can you take your vitimans whole or do you crush them up? I know it's harder for you to digest them. I know the prenatal pills can be on the bigger side do you always take the chewable kind?

The opening from the pouch to the intestines is very small. Larger pills will cause problems. That's why Bariatric Vitamins are chewable or liquid.

I ordered a bottle of the bariatrics chewables already. So I have one. I was trying to wait till after my surgery to see if I could tolerate the taste. I don't have a date yet so I still have a while to go.

Prenatals are good because most of them have Biotin and dha which is good for hair and nails. You might have to add an additional Iron because there's not much in prenatals.

What store do you get them free

Meijer with prescription from Dr is no cost. At least it is here in Toledo, not sure other cities.

      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.
