Has anyone used the Unjury Vitamins? Thoughts? Suggestions?

My surgeon is recommending a B12 sub-lingual once a week for energy, as the calories consumed will be so low. They also gave me a about a billion different Vitamin samples and the only ones that I could tolerate were the unjury Vitamins. I actually really like the soft chews (I can't remember if they were Unjury or Celebrate) but they said I can't have those for several months, so nasty chewables it is I guess. I've seen several people on here say they use Flintstone Complete but my surgeon said absolutely not so I guess that's out for me. :(

My surgeon actually recommended 2 flintstones chewables per day. I buy Source Naturals B12 . I tried Unjury Vitamins before surgery and after surgery I couldn't stand the taste( multivitamin). I gave them to a friend . It was $200 worth. I kept the chewable D.

B-12 shots for me, for sure! I found Nature's Plus Source of Life liquid Gold multivitamin when I could not tolerate the Bariatric Advantage multivitamin. A compound pharmacist recommended it. I wrote down and compared every ingredient in each Vitamin, and the liquid won. I wanted the best Vitamins I could find, to keep myself healthy. I even like the taste. Don't forget the Biotin, for your hair. Good luck!

I take the opurity chewable Vitamin by Unjury, (Optimized for Sleeve patients). I also take an acid reducer and sublingual B12 on a daily basis. I was told by my surgeon and the NUT that I would have to take the Prilosec and B12 till the end of time. They will evaluate the need for Vitamins after the first year.

I do B12 shots too, give them in the butt.

I am also able to get off of prilosec now. If I feel like my tummy is acting up I take a 14 day course of it, but am no longer doing it daily and its fine.

The B-12 shot is in the fat, not the muscle.

Aline, I guess you are asking the amount of liquid Vitamin I take and it is 2 TBSP per day

Macman, Today I met with my surgeon's nurse and NUT - They both acted like they had no idea if I should continue the Prilosec. Thanks for your post, I will make sure I get a refill until I see my surgeon in March. Better safe than sorry. Linda

If you find that your B12 shots and Vitamins are not working, you may want to try Methyl B12 instead. My body doesn't use the other B12 correctly and it builds up to a very high level. When I switched to Methyl B12 it made a huge difference in my energy levels. I'm getting my labs done in a few weeks, so I'll see if the blood levels have decreased.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
