For now, since time is wasting, I decided to go with the online place I have bought Vitamins prior to surgery, Puritans Pride. I got chewable prenatal multi, chewable Calcium, I have vit D, as I have to take that before and will start with all this and see how it goes.

I use Celebrate Calcium and I get it at a local nutrition shop. It's also available on Amazon. I get my B12, Flintstones, and D3 from Walmart or Target.

I get everything I need from Walmart or walgreens. I used to order too but it is just easier and more economical this way. All of my blood work has been spot on so I know what I'm doing works! I take Flintstones with iron-2 a day, Calcium citrate- 2 or 3 a day depending on how much milk I've drank, Iron, and a B12 once a week. That's it.

It's weird how different doctors are. I was told to stay far away from calcium citrate found in Walmart/Target because it doesn't have what we need. I also take B12 every day.

I think one of the most important things is to look for the black UPH seal on the label

I was terribly confused about MVI, Calcium and B12. I ended up talking with a Registered Dietician from Unjury and now get all from them. It's just a bit more than the CVS brand and you get 15% off each delivery plus free shipping and handling.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
