Vitamins, Vitamins, and more Vitamins



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for 2/18/16 and I'm trying to get everything ready for my big day. I was instructed to order my post op Vitamins and it's so hard to decide. What vitamins is everyone else on?

Also, any suggestions on things I should keep in my house that I will want post op? Trying to be as prepared as possible!

I'm loving the vitamin patches since even 4 Mos post surgery I hate swallowing pills. This cuts down the number by a lot.

What are your specific requirements in terms of being able to swallow pills versus chewables versus gummies? I was allowed to swallow whole pills 7 days post-op, so I never had to deal with chewables or gummies. I take Vitaleph bariatric Multivitamins, my store brand version of Citrical Maximum +D3, and MyKind spray B12.< /p>

Rking, they give you a perception for all of those? My doctor said I had to get them personally.

Jamie, my doctor said they want me to take either liquid or chewable.

I was thinking about doing the nutrameteix because I would only have to drink it once a day and it would be in the morning. I like the idea of only taking it once a day.

I started off with those too but can't tolerate the pills. I throw them up everytime :(

My insurance didn't cover the nasal spray even though I have a PPO :-(

I ended up getting the following:

opurity multi (1 a day)

Opurity D

Celebrate Iron

Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate chew

the above I ordered online

I also got the following from costco

B-12 Subingual

Biotin

My house is stocked with Premier Protein and Muscle Milk Light shakes (both from Costco), sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicle, broth, Vitamin Water Zero, and other stuff I hope will get me through the first couple of weeks.

Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
