Walmart.com...also swanson.com they have good prices...they reccomend bariatricadvantage but as long as is the Vitamins you need doesnt matter I was today at a visit with my bariatric nurse and she says it doesnt matter you buy where ever you can afford!!!!. I started with Proteins months ago..and Multivitamin from Walmart and Biotin and calcium citrate from walmart also...

I never took bariatric Vitamins and my labs were always great. For the first four weeks after surgery I did Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins, Iron, and Calcium. I took double doses of the vitamins and iron. After about four weeks I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi Vitamin -- again, a double dose for the first year. It is FAR cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than those bariatric specialty vitamins that are masquerading as candy and loaded up with artificial crap.

I also switched to Citracal Petites for calcium and whatever the drug store had on sale (not slow release) for iron.

I like my bariatric Vitamin regimen because it is only one pill a day, It includes all the required Vitamins for bariatric patients, plus added extras like Biotin for hair and nails. It is called Bariatric Complete Once a Day Multi Vitamin. A 90 day supply is $34.99 at procarenow.com. You will need to add a Calcium supplement in addition to this. I haven't yet because my labs were perfect.

As for Isopure, the cheapest price for a 3 pound powder jug can be found at puritan.com. They charge $44 with free shipping. The ready to drink kind is much more expensive.

      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'. ???

        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!
