3 months post op - vitamins?

[Bsharp86 2]

What are you eating/drinking? Are you talking any Vitamins? I've really been slacking on taking them. But I've lost 25lbs since surgery, on February 11th.

3 months post-op I was able to eat lean cuts of softer Protein such as fish and chicken. Trust me you will get tired of eating fish and chicken. And getting in around 96oz of Water based fluids in per day. One thing I would warn about is trying to consume raw veggies. I would wait at least 6 to 8 months. So things like salads, carrots where hard on the tummy for me and caused very uncomfortable bloating issues. I was still using Protein Shakes somewhat daily but instead of relying on them to give me basically all my protein grams per day, the shakes were giving me about a 1/3 or my daily intake goal.

You need to be taking your Vitamins. You have to take them for life, so you might as well get used to it! Are you having regular blood work done to make sure you aren't developing any deficiencies?

I am only 2 months out so no blood work yet. What are you taking?

My nutritionist has me on a bariatric Multi-Vitamin twice a day, liquid B12, a probiotic, and calcium citrate +D3. In addition to all of those, I take Vitamin C, Omega 3, extra D3, and under the advise of my doctor for carpel tunnel: coq10.< /p>

I'm struggling with taking Vitamins. They make me so nauseous and I've thrown them up several times.

Don't take your Vitamins all at once, try breaking it up thru the day, make sure you have something on your stomach. I have some chewys, .it's important you take the vitamins.. You will feel a difference!

I'll give them a try again. I take capsules and the dose is 3 capsules a day so I'll take them throughout the day. Thanks!

My NUT recommends nutraMetrix Vitamins. They are powdered and you mix them with 2 ounces of Water.

Because they are Isotonic ( like the meds that are put through IV's ) , you only have to take them once a day and the Multivitamin and Calcium can be mixed together.

My WLS surgery is not until the fall but I just ordered 90 days worth so I could get in the habit of taking them.

My NUT also warned us that Vitamin deficiencies can take years to show up.

Are you taking them with food?
