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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
