BARIATRIC VITAMINS



Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals. I'm wondering what brand of Vitamins everyone takes. I'm still having thin Hair loss issues after 1 year. I take 5000mcg Biotin, Calcium, b-12, biotin Shampoo. The Bariatric vitamins were making me nauseated and I would vomit them within minutes of taking them so I stopped. Surgeon said to double up on Multivitamins. But I'm thinking I need to try again to see if it helps my hair. Any suggestions?

I recently switched to the Patch MD. I'm not going to tell my nutritionist bc she told me not to use the patch. But I had so much nausea in the mornings when I would take my Vitamins and they told me before surgery to take with food that's why. But it only got worse after surgery so I couldn't even take them. I wad told chewable for 3 mos then can take regular vitamins. Is that what everyone else understands? I had the sleeve.

I went to natural grocers today and bought a chewable children's Vitamin. They had so many choices. I've been using B12 sublingual liquid for years- $6 at Walmart. I also got a liquid Calcium with d at natural grocers.

I haven't had my sleeve yet but I love B12 shots. I already have an issue absorbing sublinguals. I just give myself a shot once a week.

      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.
