I was told to just take the liquid Vitamin and the sublingual vitamin B12 until my post op appointment. They said I should check into the brand names before I buy the B12 to make sure they've been tested and used for bariatric patients. So I was wondering has anyone done this? What brands of sublingual B12 do you use?

I used Nature's Made.

ETA: correction my B12 was by Nature's Bounty. It worked really really well for me. I no longer need to take it at all.

@@BLERDgirl - by chance do you use the D3 by Natures made? I am pre op and I am looking into the chewable for just after surgery.

@@jacks89 - Both my daughter and I take the B12 sublingual cherry flavor and it is not bad at all.

I use Nature's Bounty D3. I usually buy them when they are having a BOGO sale.

I take both B12 and D3 available at the Vitamin Shoppe in chewable tablet form. They are really the only kind of chewable vitamins I have ever been able to tolerate, before or after surgery. sublingual is optional...you can chew them the traditional way if you wish.

I tried Vita4Life, it’s readily available online. Two capsules a day and I had visible results though not a very dramatic one. Serving depends from person to person. It helps in containing all round deficient post surgery.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
