Having a hard time getting my Vitamins in. They are so gross! I had a hard time with vitamins pre-op too. What's everyone else taking?

I was struggling as well but last week I decided that I would get them in no matter what. I take 1 Bariatric Advantage Advanced Multi EA chewable in the morning, 3 Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium citrate throughout the day (at least 2 hours apart) and I take Natures Bountry sublingual B-12 at least 3 times a week. The trick for me is to let the tablet dissolve a little(or a lot) in my mouth before I chew it. I find that method far less disgusting and after the first 2 days the taste wasn't as bad. You can do!

I found one too, does the one you found have Iron? It wasn't in the brand I found.

I totally understand the first time I chewed a Vitamin after surgery it came up and I didn't try again until I was 6 weeks out. Now my stomach can handle it.

I'm taking a bariatric chewable multi that has calcium citrate and Iron. I also take a B12 everyday, Vitamin D once a week and Biotin when i remember.

You should check to make sure Calcium is not included with iron. It affects the absorption.

As recommended by my NUT, I take my thyroid pill early in the morning. Two hours later I take Bariatric Advantage advanced Multi EA chewable. My Vitamin has Iron so need to space out between thyroid pill and Calcium intake because Iron will bind with both the thyroid and calcium. Following two hours after Vitamin I can take my Bariatric Advantage Carmel calcium chewy. I follow this regime getting in two vitamin tablets and 3 calcium chewys each day. Because I am very low on B 12 I get B12 shots monthly. I take Benefiber every morning. I need it!

This is going to be my life forever more!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
