Right out of surgery...what vitamins?



Recommended Posts

Anyone pretty new out of surgery? I have mine in just over a week, and I'm not sure what Vitamins to buy. I've been trying all sorts of samples.< /p>

I think I'm leaning toward Bariatric fusion.

Bariatric fusion is a good choice.

My bariatric doctor put me on Bariatric Advantage AE. It is a huge horse pill about as big around as a penny and as thick as a pencil. Not only could I not swallow it whole, I could not swallow it cut into four pieces. So.......I mash it up like a fine powder, and then put it in a blueberry applesauce snack cup. No problem, but I do count the applesauce calories in my plan.

Centrum has a adult chewable only one a day! My Dr. is fine with these. Good luck on your journey.

My list post-op was a daily multi-Vitamin (I like Centrum flavor bursts), a weekly (prescribed) Vitamin D, and 2 sublingual B-12s per day. Oh and I added Fiber gummies. Later, Calcium citrate was added to my daily list, but I'm still trying to find a version that doesn't have a side effect for me. Yuck.

What does your doc recommend?

Dont worry about it until your Doc tells you too. Early on it time to heal and get your Water in. The rest will come out a month out.

I would say to take what your doctor recommends. No one on her will be able to answer that for you. I've seen Vitamins on these boards ranging from two flintstones chewables a day to four bariatric vitamins a day. Personally, my doctor has me on three bariatric vitamins per day for life. But every doctor has different recommendations and no one can speak for your doctor.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
