Multivitamins post-op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 months post-op and recently switched over from my chewable Multivitamins to some prenatal multivitamins to get the added Iron and folic acid which is supposed to be really important for bariatric patients, but they have been making me incredibly nauseaus and every time I take one I feel like I'm about to throw up. I haven't had any problems taking pill form Vitamins before, and I'm taking my Vitamin B12 and Calcium regularly. Has anyone else experienced this? What Multivitamin do you take daily that fits the bariatric requirements? Any recommendations for good ones? I prefer pill or capsule form rather than chewable and would like something completely tasteless and odourless (the prenatal ones had a really strong smell and taste even though they were in pill form, it wasn't very pleasant :/ ). Thanks!

      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.
