I just had my surgery Monday so I'm not on this stage yet, but as far as Vitamins are they hard to get down? And do they taste bad

Hi Jess, my B12 Vitamins are small and just suck under the tongue. The multi is a berry flavoured chewable Vitamin. Have to take losec which I take with my morning smoothie as Im not a great pill taker. Just have to do one tablet at a time and wait till it goes down if I need to take other pills. Good luck.

As a fellow RNY- er I take 2- Flinstones Vitamins daily, 1- B-12 sublingual you let dissolve under your tongue( cherry flavor) a cherry flavor Iron chewable that's really tasty, and I get my calcium citrate in liquid form I take 2- Tbsp a day. This is all broken up throughout the day

Yes I have my 6 week appointment next week and I think they are going to be adding Calcium and Iron then, hope it is also chewable. I think the Losec I am to take for 3 months but going to see if tthats necessary as over it after 6 weeks. As I said Im not a great pill taker.

I'm three weeks out and having a terrible time with my Vitamins and Calcium. My vitamins make me puke and there is no way the calcium will stay down. I'm thinking about trying Tums for the calcium. I'm going to call the NUT on Monday. I know how important these are but I just can't get them down.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
