Which are the best Vitamins to use?

Surgery is in October but I want to get the vitamins now and try them out.....

Anyone use an "all in one" and if so, what brand.

Thanks

I currently use the Bariatric Choice all in one chewable Vitamin. I have 4 of those per day, along with 1 B1 in the morning, and 1 B12 chewable every 5 days. The taste is just ok, but I can get those down much better than the multiple pills I had to swallow before switching to the chewable.

My surgeon just switched me from the jillion different Vitamins he had me on to a much easier regimen of 2 BariLife Multivitamins, 3 times a day. Rather than purchase them at his office, I found them here at the store a few dollars less expensive, too! The coating is vanilla scented. They dissolve quickly in the stomach. I’ve had no issues with nausea or headaches as I have with others. BONUS...these cover the Calcium requirements so no extra calcium tabs to chew!
The only downside is they are rather large. I can take a handful of pills and capsules at once (I was a sickly kid) so it’s no prob for me but I can see these being large for some folks. Breaking them in half might make sense.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
