Bariatric Vitamins



Recommended Posts

My NUT said I will have to take bariatric Vitamins forever. I'm fine with that, but just wondered what type everyone is using.

I started off on Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins..... for the first couple of weeks. But the taste is so strong that I couldn't take them any longer. I switched to Flintstone Complete chewables, from advice on this forum. Much easier to chew/take

My surgeon sells Celebrate and the NUT gave me a sample. It is pretty strong tasting. Not bad, but I can see where I'd get tired of them quickly. Thinking I'll try the ones from Unjury since I like their other products. The NUT specifically said no OTC (even mentioned Flintstones). :(

Wow, my surgeon gave us chewable Vitamin and caltrate for after the first week. But they gave us a list of Vitamins we can try if we didn't like them. And Flintstones are ones we can use if they are too strong

      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.
