List of supplements you take

Hi, 

My VSG surgery is next week. I'm hoping some of you could share your vitamin & mineral regimens with me - maybe a simple list of produt & dose and how many times per day. I'd like to stick to liquid or chewables when possible, at first. 

thanks!

Here's my vitamin list -- https://www.myvsg.net/2-uncategorised/194-vitamin-schedule-w ith-links

Gwen, you are so organized!  I'll be getting sleeved soon and find your list very helpful.  Thanks.

Thanks!  I'm pretty sure I would have failed many times over if not for my organization.  

My surgeon did not have me start vitamins until I was 2 weeks post-op. I was able to buy my vitamin and mineral supplements through the surgeon's office. Every day I take a chewable multi-vitamin and two calcium chews. I also take sub-lingual B12 3 times a week. Your nutritionist or surgeon should be able to tell you what kind of supplements you will need and when to start them.

Morning - Celebrate chewable grape multivitamin,  Bariatric Advantage 500mg caramel calcium chewable

Afternoon - BA calcium, D3 5000 IU

Evening - Multivitamin,  calcium chew

In addition,  I take B1 and sublingual B12 on Monday,  Wednesday and Friday. 

Immediately after surgery I was taking BA chewable iron before I went to bed.  My irons levels have been in the very high range so my internist suggested that I stop taking them.

I was told to start taking my vitamins 1 week after surgery. 

Hope this helps. 

I'm going off memory for some of these but I take:

Multi-vitamin chew (Vitafusion)

Calcium

Biotin 10,000

CO-Q10 50mg

B12

L'il Critters Omega-3 DHA

Stool softener 2x/day

All were recommended by my surgeon except the stool softener, that's just something I've learned I need!

I'm in the first 8 weeks and my surgeon requires everything either be liquid or chewable.

Morning: 2 Flintstones complete chewable, B12 liquid (because it's berry and not cherry and I hate cherry)

Lunch: 1000 IU vitamin D soft gel (I bite it and spit out the outside) and an extra strength Tums

Night: 1000 IU vitamin D and an extra strength Tums

However, I haven't had my first lab draw yet to make sure all this is adequate. It is within what my surgeon suggests though. I like this combo because it's cheap, easy, and palatable.

I'm not a fan of the carbs/sugar in many chewables, so I don't take any. I only just started most of this regimen as I'm only a little over two weeks post-surgery. I know I'm taking the right things - just not sure my dose amounts are adequate yet. I'll have to get labs done in a few months and gauge whether I need to increase anything. (If anyone has any comments/feedback, happy to hear it, btw.)
