Vitamins After Weight Loss Surgery | My Gastric Bypass Journey

I had a Gastric Bypass on December 1, 2020 at Mexico Bariatric Center in Tijuana Mexico. This video is all about vitamins! Vitamins play a very important role after weight loss surgery, whether you've had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) or the RNY Gastric Bypass. I discuss what I did pre-op to prepare for taking vitamins with my new tummy, as well as the vitamin requirements that were sent to me by the nutritionist and what my current vitamin regimen is.

I am in 3 months post surgery. If my dietitian had advised this of the sample packets. Thank you for helping. I wished that I had found your channel 1st. It is overwhelming of the weight loss journeys on KZbin. You are the most informative!

I’m considering (once I’ve discussed what Vitamins I should be taking daily with my surgeon) getting that vitamin prescription service that quizzes you about what you need and once they’ve given you what they recommend you can edit their choices and add other things as well as choose your daily dose, it seems pricey but it is a month worth of vitamins

[@tammylibertini171]

Thank you for the tips on vitamins. I have just started this journey ❤

The comparison from the before footage and now in your face is a crazy difference

[@1FatBeet]

Right?? Editing that footage I was like...okay I can see that haha. Pictures weren't doing it justice for me but watching myself on camera sure is different. It's so funny how we have a hard time seeing the progress on ourselves!

[@sandraschick1916]

Very helpful! I especially appreciated your advice about getting sample packs! THANKS❣️

[@1FatBeet]

You are so welcome! The sample packs were so helpful for me to figure out what worked best!

[@ginaadams7213]

I feel you are a very informative Teacher. Thank you for all your videos.

[@lightenupbuttercup5476]

Wow what a difference already can be seen in your face. Great video, thanks!

[@jazzminetzullopez229]

Thank you so much for this video!! I’m scheduled for Gastric bypass on 3/24/21! This video helped me out a lot!!! My nutritionists wants me on liquid vitamins only.

[@1FatBeet]

Congrats on your surgery date! That's coming up quickly! I've been considering looking into liquid vitamins myself. I just got my first bloodwork done post-op and so I have a little bit of tweaking to do - my levels look good overall, which is great news.

[@echokay2694]

Ahhh thank you for the pill organizer idea. I’ve been needing one that can detach. I’m that crazy person with a whole box of vitamins in her bag 😂

[@rottiemom2043]

Hi I just seen this video what do you take now on vitamins can you please let me know

[@1FatBeet]

I hesitate to do too much of an update on this because I work with my doctor specifically on my vitamin needs this far out from surgery and highly recommend doing the same as your needs may be different from mine. What I take is really not indicative of what anyone else should take. Most of my vitamins are the same, though, with a couple of changes. I take a prenatal multivitamin twice a day as the bariatric ones all had too much copper and my body was retaining it, omeprazole, a probiotic, the same iron, folic acid, and biotin, calcium, and vitamin D as before. I take my sublingual B12 three times a week.

[@kellysmith9607]

And after A year of making this video what website how do you settled with.

[@1FatBeet]

Are you asking where I get my vitamins from at this point? I still get any of my bariatric-specific vitamins (iron, calcium, B12) from Bariatric Advantage. The rest I get from either Costco or on Amazon!

[@sandrajones3921]

I do B12 sublingual liquid

[@sandrajones3921]

Twice daily

[@1FatBeet]

Awesome, great choice! Have you had bloodwork done yet? Twice daily may be more than you need. It's not a huge deal but since my doctor had me cut back on mine a bit because my levels were high, I've saved a bit of money on B12.
