"Bariatric" Vitamins



Recommended Posts

This Vitamin thing is a pain in the ass - I consider myself a master of this and what you said above is exactly correct -
Key is to get balanced out and for me as you can see it takes me mixing and adding Vitamins to the multi vitamin.
I use fusion once daily but supplement the others with GNC 50 plus powder, Plus liquid vitamins. It took me a long time and many blood tests to get my program. I do not take all of these daily Some i only take once a week,

You can take Iron with Calcium as long as calcium is 300mg or less. Once a day bariatric Vitamins have a common flaw. Your body can't absorb more than 500 mg of calcium at a time. Calcium should be taken in 3 or 4 times throughout the day. I am presurgery so taking Citracal Slo Release (1200 mg Calcium & 1000 IU D3). But after surgery cannot take Slo Release so exploring calcium options. chewables very chalky.

I like Bariatric Fusion which you take 4 times a day with both iron and 300 mg calcium. One big problem with fusion is it is missing Vitamin K. I could buy K2 drops from Amazon to add it to FUSION.

      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!
