Recommended Posts

Hey! Truffles Here! So i decided to share what i take! I decided to stick with a Cheap Brand(Found in Walgreen) that almost anyone can find. I was asked to share on Facebook what i take so i figured i might as well Cross post it to here. I am Still Pre-op but my Surgery Date is 9/15/2015! So almost there. I am also on my 14 day preop diet. So Consuming about 600-800 calories a day.

Just giving yall an idea of what i've been taking for the past couple of weeks. I don't recommend taking what i take, this is based on my Blood results and given the OK to me specifically by my Dietitian.

-I take a Multivitamin, Biotin(10,000mcg), Iron(30mg) in the morning along with B100(100mg)

-Afternoon ill take Calcium(1000mg) as well as D3(2000UI)
-Same thing in the Evening about 4-5 hours later
-Then at night i just take another Multivitamin, Biotin(10,000mcg) and Iron(100mg)

-This along with 50g-100g of Protein a day.

All of this is NatureMade except for the Multivitamin(Centrum). Also the Caltrate Soft Chews are mainly for when im tired of that Gummy/Pill taste.

Share your Vitamins please! I'd like to know what everyone else takes. ʅʕ•ᴥ•ʔʃ

My bloodwork has been really good. I'm down to very few.

I take a centrium multi in the AM. 3 hours later I take 12,000 Calcium. In the evening I take 5,000 bioton and my Zyrtec. That's it.

Oops, I forgot I also take Vitamin D with my multi.

I take Walgreen's brand Vitamins except my Calcium which I take citrical

To be honest, i dont really like Nature made but its cheap. They are Huge and I have to slice all the tablets/pills into 1/4s to practice for post-op.

I was told I couldn't swallow pills or eat gummies for the first 6 months. My surgery is on Wednesday, Sept 16, 2015.

I take Vitamins that my Doctor recommended. Not sure of the brand, but it goes through my insurance. I pay $10.00 a month & get a multivitamin, Biotin, B12 nosespray, & Calcium.

      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.
