What vitamins would you recommend?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office gave me a list of required Vitamins.

Pre-op I was required to start extra D3 in addition to my Multivitamin and extra Iron because my Iron was low.

Post-op I have a list of required Vitamins (that includes those from pre-op) and a recommended schedule for taking them.

You'll likely receive recommendations from your surgeon as your surgery approaches. Most sleeve patients are required to be on a Multivitamin, Calcium +D3, and B-12. My nutritionist also wanted me on a probiotic.

Similar experiences as @@Inner Surfer Girl mentions.

My bariatric program provided a list of the exact recommendations.

I've since gone off the reservation and been dabbling at GNC and finding better deals and more specific products.

You will see MANY MANY posts on these forums about Constipation post-op. I never had any problems at all with constipation since surgery and I thank my probiotic for it. I think it really does help! Often in those threads, I see many posts from people saying they take a probiotic and don't have trouble with constipation and most of the people who DO have trouble, don't take a probiotic. Thriving gut bacteria is essential for proper digestion. Most of the ultra-pasturized, anti-biotic fed foods we get in stores today don't provide the proper flora for a healthy digestive system. Taking a probiotic daily can help restore gut bacteria and then eating Prebiotic foods helps to feed those bacteria.

      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.
