Trying out bariatric vitamins..



Recommended Posts

I just had my surgery consult last week. Dr Joyce says yes he can do the bypass. So, I have my psych consult left to do then my class. So I am in the process. I am hoping for a May surgery date. That will fit my schedule better plus I told the nurse that will be better. So I am in the process of trying out bariatric Vitamins. Celebrate had a sample pack that I ordered and tried. I noticed that the Multivitamin chewable and Calcium plus chewable gave me a sharp pains like near my bladder. Not the side of my stomach but lower. They were very sharp but only while I kept biting off and eating pieces of the chewables. As soon as I was finished the sharp pain stopped! I didnt know what to think so the next day I tried it again. Again the sharp pain happens while chewing on the chewables. So today I went back to my other Multivitamin and it didnt happen. So i figure maybe something in the chewable that my body or wherever that sharp pain came does not like this chewable. So, I will try the chews instead. Really weird! Has anyone ever had sharp pains with any baratric Vitamin?

I use the Bariatric Pal patch Vitamins. They work well. I bought the ones suggested for the gastric bypass. I had surgery 11/11 and have been using them since. Works great.

Weird! I like the Celebrate vitamins; out of all the ones I tried they tasted the best. I use the regular Multi, the B12 sublingual and the Iron+C from them. No sharp pains that I've noticed.

Yes, me too I love the taste of Celebrate Vitamins. Whatever reaction I am having is weird. I have to see my primary doctor next week and I will bring this up to her. It may have irritated my bladder. I have interstitial cystitis so my bladder is sensitive.

      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.
