3 weeks post op and doing great with absolutely no problems so far. Started Vitamins and Calcium this week but still undecided what Vitamin to go with long term. I'm currently taking 2 Celebrate chewable Multi Vitamins a day and 3 Celebrate Calcium capsules (crushed) a day. I will definitely not get Calcium capsules again and will probably go with a Calcet and/or caltrate in the future. I am considering opurity Vitamins available at unjury.com for future use since they are a one a day chewable. Opurity does provide slightly less in some vitamins but don't really think it's enough to make a difference. Any comments?

I've taken Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's and Wellesse liquid Calcium since surgery. My labs have always been great and I don't miss paying tons of extra money for special "bariatric" Vitamins. One thing, if you are looking at Calcet or Caltrate make sure you are getting calcium citrate, not calcium carbonate. That is something that sleevers need to be very aware of! Calcium carbonate doesn't work well for us.

Thank you for this information. I'm 2 weeks out and just saw my surgeon yesterday. They said they don't want me to start Vitamins (except B12 - I got a shot) until my next visit in 2 weeks. Still, I looked at some of the "bariatric" vitamins and they do seem pricey.

Do you take a sublingual B12? If so, may I ask which one?

@@une nouvelle vie I take Trader Joe's sublingual B12 2x/week. I used to take it every day but my labs showed my B12 was super-high so I cut it back. High B12 levels aren't dangerous, but I figured, why waste money taking more than I need? (yes I am very cheap!).

I take the opurity Vitamins in Orange berry Flavor. I like them because there is one tablet a day and the ingredients are China Free. Quality of ingredients is an issue with some products and I like that they guarantee quality. They are pricier than some others but I am a big fan of Unjury products and am very pleased with the outcome.

      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'. ???

        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!
