Vitamins just after surgery.....



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 11/28 on 12/2 I was instructed to start my Vitamins. My multi Vitamin is chewable, my B12 is sublingual (dissolves under your tongue) and my calcium citrate is chewable. Just chew it up real good! Upon discharge I was told I could even have pills that were smaller than the size of a pencil eraser. My Percocets were cut in 4ths after I arrived home.

They have liquid vitamins but my surgeon didn't care that my Vitamins are chewable he just wanted me to get them in and I was ok with them. They pretty much dissolve in your mouth once chewed really well any way. Same with my Calcium and b-12 is a sublingual dot that dissolves under the tongue. If you have chewable just ask the surgeon.

Same as Aranks. At six months I was switched to Bariatri Advantage AE horsepill stinka** Vitamins that are so big I have to pulverize them and put them in applesauce or Jello Water. The last time I took one, two nights ago, it came back up. I am going back to gummies and sublingual.

I came across the JOURNEY all in one bariatric Vitamins last night. Was thinking of getting those but they don't have everything my nutritionist requires like Vitamin k etc.

My doc prescribed chewable and sublingual forms. So it was not a problem.

My Multivitamin is huge so I put it in my nutirbullet and make it into powder and put it in my Greek yogurt in the morning for Breakfast. And the rest are sublingual oh except my Calcium which seems to chew up faster and dissolve in my mouth better :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
