Vitamins

I'm 2yrs post-op and just found out I am preggers..looks like I'm about 8weeks. Anyone have suggestions on the best vitamins to take-curious if your docs reccomended the prenatals or to continue our "usual" ****tail of post gastric bypass vitamins.....anyone buy juice plus? Any suggestions welcomed (:

I was told to start a prenatal and I stayed on my calcium 2x day, iron 1x day (till I became too anemic about a month ago and was switched to vitron-c) and stayed on my sublinqual b-12 as well as my monthly b-12 shots..hope this helps!

Hi. Get your labs done soon. That way if you are deficiant in anything you can start supplementing right away.
The usual ****tail of RNY vites sound good for now. Don't listen to any OB nurses who claim you only need 1 vitamin though. Get all nutritional advice from your WL surgeons office. Be sure to add some veggies and fruits in with your protien. Ketosis is bad for babies brain development. & drink lots of water.

I took my normal vitamins with my last pregnancy and plan to do the same with this one......but make sure your multi has folic acid and calcium.  Along with my multi, I take a b-12, D, Iron and calcium.

COngrats to you!

My surgeon's office wanted me to change to a prenatal vitamin. My OB's office wanted me to stay on the bariatric vitamins, because they have more of everything... So i've been taking:

2 Bariatric Advantage multivitamins (started with Celebrate, switched)
1- b12
1- b6
1- folic acid
1- DHA
6- calcium citrate
2- Vit d (5000 units each)
1-2 Iron 60mg (Vitalady Tender Iron capsules)

 I added pre-natals and folic acid to my ****tail which now includes:

8 calcium citrate
2 prenatal vitamins
1 traditional multi vitamin
2 folic acid (1mg)
2 biotin (5,000mg)
3 Vitalady Tender Iron
Vit D
B12 (combination of nasal and injections)

I came off of my potassium.
