Vitamins after surgery

[mommyjamie 83]

Have read about having a good bariatric chewable Multivitamin and the need for calcium citrate ( got the Caltrate mini pills). I have heard some take B12, but how much? Anything else?

I'm still pre-op but I've been taking a multivitamin, D, B12 and Biotin. I also take Pepcid complete and I'm sure I will continue post-op. Going to pick up chewable Calcium today.

When is your surgery?

[mommyjamie 83]

My surgery is on April 21st. Yours?

May 7th and I'm a nervous wreck already!!! How are you feeling (emotionally)? Have you started your pre-op diet? I ordered samples from Chike, Syntrax and Unjury... Trying to prepare however at this point I'm eating everything in sight :-/

I am the same way right now. Eating my favorites! I'm not nervous which is unusual for me. Just excited to finally get this done. I got the sample sets from Bariatric Fusion and Unjury. I did get a big chocolate, unflavored and chicken Soup from unjury too. God I hope they are good. They were expensive!

1000 mcg sublingual B12 3xs a week. You may also need to supplement your Iron. 36 mg minimum but up to120 mg if anemic.

I am taking the Centrum chewable one a day and Biotin. After surgery I will continue the Vitamin and add 1200-1500mg Calcium a day and I bought the citrical with D3 but I was instructed not to take the vitamin and calcium together. Supposedly biotin is in my vitamin so I need to stop taking it.

They sure are expensive!!! I bought a single coconut Isopure from GNC today and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted....yuk!! Lol

My doctor’s office strongly advised me against chewable as it contains harmful fillers in the form of binding agents known to cause side effects. I take one Multivitamin, containing 100% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of at least 2/3 of all nutrients, including 18 mg Iron and minerals like zinc and selenium, 1200 mg Calcium malate chelate, divided into three doses of about 500 mg each, taken at least two hours apart and 1000mcg B-12 in sublingual.< /p>
