Where to buy vitamins?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I will be sleeved on November 30th and am starting to research the Vitamins I will need to buy?

Where have you found them to be reasonably priced? I have to take quite a few and don't want to spend $100 a month or more on vitamins.

I am particularly having trouble finding a 27 or 28 mg Iron chewable with 500 MG of of Vitamin C. I may opt to buy the Celebrate Multi Complete with Iron chewables which have 36 mg of iron and a separate chewable Vitamin C.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have been using Bariatric Advantage and order from their website. My doc required a multi which is what I get from them and a sublingual B12 which I got at Walgreens and they both actually taste pretty good.

I get my multi Vitamins from The Vitamin Shoppe. They are specifically made for bariatric patients & they don't cost a fortune. I buy my B12 from Walmart & I get my Calcium chewables from Amazon or Bariatric Advantage. I don't take extra Iron or Vitamin C & my tests have all been normal. I was sleeved over a year ago & have not had any problems.

Good luck with your surgery.

Any one take gummies?

No gummies, they were specifically excluded from my program as generally inferior. chewables however were recommended depending on the brand. I take Flintstones w Iron and am still looking for the perfect calcium citrate chewable that doesn't cost $25/month or more.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
