Swallowable bariatric vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hey! I was wondering for those who have started taking Vitamin capsules instead of chewable vitamins, how do you take your Calcium? I know you can't take Iron and calcium together so if I get some capsules when should I take the calcium chewable? I will ask my doctor but I want to know what you guys are doing/what's worked with you and your blood tests. Thanks!

I take Calcium pills and a Multivitamin capsule.

My multi has Iron, so I take that with Breakfast and take the calcium later in the day.

I was told to take the Calcium at least 2 hours before or after the mutivitamin. So, I take a Bariatric multivitamin when I get up. I have an alarm set for 9 AM to take two Citracal + D3. Then I take two more Citracal + D3 in the evening before bed.

It seems like a lot of Calcium + D3 to me, but I'm going by the guidance I was given.

I take my multivitamin whenever I wake up (as long as you wake up before 10) and i take my Calcium at 12 and 3. I have a recurring alarm set on my phone for the calcium because if I am out and about I will totally forget it. I take calcium in pill form but I have a few chewable ones in my purse in case I am out and don’t have a drink handy. I had some left over from immediately post op when I used to take them so I just use them for that now.

I use Celebrate Multivitamin with Iron and I take that 30 minutes after breakfast with my morning meds. Then I take my Celebrate Calcium 3 tablets 2x a day at 2pm and when I take the second dose with my nighttime meds about 2-4 hours after dinner. I have a alarm set for the 2pm one and have a bottle of Calcium at work in my lockable filling cabinet so I don't have to remember to bring it everyday.

      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'. ???

        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!
