Supplements post surgery
this is what I take...
Centrum Chewable - 2 tablets (for the extra iron)
B-Complex Sublingual with B-12 boost - liquid from Target
Calcium Citrate Chewables - from Hi-Health
Pepcid - 2 chewables/day (for Dr. Blackstone patients)
I found these to be the cheapest way... I was going to buy the Bariatric Advantage stuff and the liquid stuff but it turned out to be more money and I heard thru support groups that taste wasn't the best.

Thanks guys for the response, I am a little over 3 weeks out and trying to get everything ready, Hey Nicole did you lose any weight pre-op? I am meeting with Dr Blackstone next Thursday and I haven't lost a lb. I know they weight you again the day of your sugery, so if she says I have to lose the 12 lbs, I will starve myself for 2 weeks...Just curious on how things worked out for you.
By the way love Cave Creek, I lived in Anthem for a little under a year. Live in northern Peoria now, like it too....
Take Care...Erin
Hi Erin,
I was all excited to see how much lost from August to October, I thought for sure I lost more than I actually did, because clothes were fitting me differently, but I only lost 3lbs. Dr. Blackstone didnt say anything to me... but I busted my butt and lost 10lbs from 10/12 to 10/30... and then she and Melissa both commented. Either way my liver was still fatty!
Don't starve yourself... just eat right, thats what I did. I also increased my walking a great deal.
Have you gone to your Pre-Op class yet?
I am in Cave Creek Zip Code, but not true Cave Creek... I am like 4 miles north of Desert Ridge!
