Best multivitamin for early post op



Recommended Posts

I need to buy my Multi Vitamins to bring with me to the hospital as my NuT said I will be taking one right after surgery! I would prefer a chewable to be on the safe side, but also need all the important things that must be in it!

I used flintstone with Iron right out of the hospital.

My doctor said that's not sufficient?

My doctors office said two Flintstone children's chewable tabs a day. I take both of them in the am.

Thx everyone for all the good input! I as we'll have to bring my Vitamins in, as my nut said no Flinstones either ! Every surgeon is so different! I went ahead and ordered chewable multi Vitamin from bariatric choice! Just a 30 day supply , so if I don't like them , I'll try a new kind! Happy Monday all, one day closer to my rebirth ! ????

I used the chewable from opurity, they can be purchased on the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury website. They also have a chewable Calcium. My nutritionist likes them, and they tasted okay to me.

Be careful with OTC Vitamins. They often contain a lot if sugar which is bad for the new tummy, and often don't contain enough of what you need. Im taking Celebrate multivitamin with Iron twice a day, and Celebrate Calcium plus D 4 times a day. They must also be spaced out and you can't tKe the calcium and iron together. Iron, zinc and Protein are all involved in Hair loss, and I don't wan to go there!!! So I take em !!

I just paid $3 got a sample pack from (celebrate) it let me pick what kind of flavors i wanted to try and im trying all the chewables right now. Personally i think im going with the Centrum liquid that i found over the counter just for the first few months. Then Im switching to one of the chewables either Centrum or one from Celebrate. the flavors were not horrible so far but i only tried 3 out of my package.

Im told that costco and Walmart carry a liquid brand (wellesse) for Vit D and Calcium, Im looking for those also for the first few months. The Celebrate Calcium chew was actually like candy and those will be in my future for sure the CARAMEL flavor...but just thinking chewing Gummy stuff the first few months not sure how it will feel.

I have a strict Vitamin schedule through Kaiser, not sure everyone has same thing but I have to take a Multi-Iron +C, B1, B12 sublingual, Vit D and Calcium and selenium. it was overwhelming so gonna do shots of whatever i need in the am after breakfast:)

I have used opurity chewable vitamins from the beginning. They are made by Unjury. The thing that impressed me was the quality ingredients. They advertise, "china free", which is a big issue with Vitamins and knowing what is actually in your Vitamin supplements. They are a bit more expensive than others out there but I have been very satisfied with the vitamin and the Protein

My Nut has me taking a brand called Celebrate Bariatric supplements. I ordered them online. A little expensive but she says they absorb better. I was extremely anemic but after less than 30 days on the Iron, my level had gone from 20 to 53. (Normal for women is 40-60.) So I'm sticking with this!

        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!

      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
