I have surgery on the 28th. Just had my last console. All they care about for the first month is that I sip Water. Eating and vitimins are optional. Yes, you want to do those things but healing and not throwing up are the most important. As my nut said 30 days with just staying hydrated wont hurt you.

I'm on the 28th to!! 9 days left;)

Vitamins are one of those things where you dont want to get the cheapest. you dont need the most expensive, but the cheapest is not going to get you what you need.

try vitacost.com, they have excellent wholesale prices on quality Vitamins. their house brand has always worked well for us.

At a bariatric support meeting, the person heading the group, an R.N., handed out the label for Bariatric Advantage and suggested we use this list to compare other brands against.

I bought Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins and then on recommendation I bought the Source of Life liquid Gold. I compared the two and the Source of Life was the best, and awesome in comparison. I could hardly swallow the big chalky BA Vitamin so my husband got the BA ones, LOL. No waste! I like the ease of the liquid, and the taste is good.

I was doing Flintstones, but ended up ordering Centrum chewables from Amazon. I have sublingual b-12 and calcium citrate chewables as well. My doctor had be begin all of them the same day I started my Protein liquids.

I looked into liquid Vitamins at my local store, but it seemed really expensive for a tiny bottle. I'll have to check them out online, it sounds like a much better bargain.

I get all the essential Vitamins from Vita4Life off their website. The vitamins are also available on Amazon.< /p>

I buy Vitamins at Vitamin Shoppe, (my probiotic) and Walmart, (multi, B12, D3, Biotin, Iron, Calcium, fish oil). Early on I got everything I could in chewable form, now I just swallow pills. If it was recommended that you take extra iron and\or extra calcium, it is important that the iron be taken with no other supplements for maximum absorption.

        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!

      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
