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.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
