Has anyone used Vitamin Patches?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am wondering if anyone used Vitamin Patches since getting sleeved? I have been researching this as a way of getting my Vitamins in without having to pack and sort pills for my business trips. It seems that PatchMD has some that exceed ASMBS guidelines. I would appreciate any feedback anyone has on these or other vitamin patches. Thank you!

I use the Multivitamin patch from Patch MD. Just had lab results drawn and my NUT says they are ok to use. Unfortunately, while my Iron levels are good, the iron binding results showed Not enough was binding so I have to take iron and Vitamin C.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to give them a try.

My order from Patch MD came today. It'll be nice to stop the multivitamin gummies as they had some carbohydrates. Will report back!

I haven't felt much change in terms of my energy levels, but my skin is RADIANT. Nothing else has changed so it has to be the Patches. Very easy to apply, too.

      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.
