Are my supplements okay?



Recommended Posts

I got so confused. The gummies don't have Iron, so the GNC guy recommended Floradix, he also recommended the green supplement as I wouldn't be eating for a while. This is all for post-op, planning to mix them into yoghurt, Protein shakes, etc.

I got CVS Calcium +D&K chews, pack of 100, on a 2 for 1 deal last week! Walgreens has the same deal on theirs at the moment, in case anyone else is interested!

You should double check with your NUT or surgeon, however I would say off hand you don't really need the green supplement. if you're going to add things to yogurt or make Protein Shakes in the nutra bullet you could add a handful of spinach instead. You may also want to consider adding a tsp of flax powder, pysillium or wheatgerm to your drinks or yogurt daily. It may help prevent Constipation.< /p>

We use Vitron-C for Iron and the chewable Building Blocks Multivitamin (contain B12). Wife uses Nature Made adult Calcium gummies and I use Kirkland sugar-free calcium chews (chocolate or caramel).

I started off taking a Multi, Biotin, B complex, and calcium citrate w D for the first 3 months. I think these are commonly recommended. My labs have always came back good.

Before surgery I took a Multi daily, so it wasn't hard to add a few others.. I have also added a coq10, and Omegas daily.

      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.
