Use the PatchMd.com
It's awesome. I can't stomach the Vitamins. The patch is the best way to get your Bariatric vitamins.

My nutritionalist said the Patches are worthless, you can’t get Vitamins thru you skin, exempt vitamins d. So you are going to be low on all the others. Talk to your surgery team and find a way of working around the nausea. This is really important in your long term success. food cravings can be made worse if you are Vitamin deficient.

This is awesome and I’m grateful. Once I’m post-op I will likely take you up on your offer. I remember reading some of your other posts too. Such a positive influence!

Lisamd. My surgery is also next Monday 16th. I find I am trying to talk myself out of it but I know I would be gaining weight over the next year if I don’t go through with it. We should be more scared what would happen to us if we did not go through it. Diabetes heart disease joint pain stroke and most of all not being able to participate in life!!! Well wishes with your surgery. You will be fine.

      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.
