VITAMINS AFTER GASTRIC SLEEVE?????

[Jobber 321]

This thread is very interesting to me and surprising. My dietitian had me start the full regiment 3 months prior to surgery.

Vitamin consumption has been sorta difficult for me. I was on the chewables following the surgery until the 2 month period, when I switched to capsules. (For the record, the chewables were not my favorite and I was elated to switch to capsules). The only one that I find that makes me sick now can by the Multi-Vitamin that I take in the mornings. I've had to empty it into yogurt or blend it with a shake. Otherwise, after 20 minutes or so, I feel really nauseous and often throw up.

Hi 👋🏽 my doctor had me start on a chewable Multi Vitamin with Iron the day after surgery when I got home from the hospital. I’ve had no issue keeping them down. He also gave me a sample of a powder form that can be added to my Water both taste great to me the brand is Bariatric Fusion.

THAT DOES MAKE SENSE BUT IM SO WEAK AND EXHAUSTED.

I felt the same way days after my surgery, but it was a lack of calories,, I was told to take Vitamins after my two week dr’s visit .. it’ll get better and you’ll start feeling stronger once you get to stage 2 ,, purées foods

My Multi makes me sick too. I take it at night before bed and that helps . Careful though too that your multi doesn’t contain your Iron supplement, because you shouldn’t take that with dairy products like yogurt or shakes. I usually have mine with a rice cake and PB2 and it does a good job keeping the nausea at bay.

My doctor started me on Vitamins 2 weeks before surgery. It starts with the liquid pre-op diet.

My surgeon advised me to restart taking tablets at my two week post op appointment. I never stopped taking the sublingual B12 or the chewable vits

Well I got the bypass but I started Day 3 (which was my first day home).

Flinstones compete and Celebrate chewables.

I am thinking about those Patches though.
