AquADEKs Multivitamins



Recommended Posts

Where can I purchase AquADEKs Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement - 60 Softgels. These where the suggested Vitamins that my surgeon told me to take after my surgery in 2004. I was able to find them online until recently. Any information would be very helpful.

@jfbeckeHi,

I'm assuming you're a full DSer as your surgery was done in 2004. At 13 years out, AquADEKs aren't nearly enough. Same with any type of softgel as they contain oil so we malabsorb them. You need to take your Vitamins separately in pill or capsule form (a.k.a dry). Have you had your bloods done recently? That will help to put you on the right track as to what & how much supplementation you need.

I can lead you to a sheet of basic DS supplementation, but it's really for newbies. You really need the bloods. :)

Thank you so much for your reply. Yes I have had my labs done recently and continue to have them monitored. My level of Vitamin D has always been an issue and in the last 4 months i had to have an Iron infusion because my iron was so low. Can you give me a list of recommended supplements that I need to be taking? My surgeon has left the practice and I can no longer find him.

Thank you,

Jerry B

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
