itamin Recommendation List For Gastric Bypass Patients
"But my surgeon said to take a couple of Flintstones vitamins and I'll be
okay!"
Are you a toddler? Apparently I thought they were good
enough<http://www.meltingmama.net/wls/2009/01/confession.html>.
Not so, not so. Disclaimer, do not listen to the girl who took children's
vitamins. Listen to your FREAKING DOCTOR, that's why they get paid the big
bucks, do not take your information from the interwebz:
*[image: Smurfvitamins]<http://www.meltingmama.net/.a/6a00d8345190c169e20120a6332514970c-pi>
*
From the ASMBS<http://bariatrictimes.com/2008/03/10/micronutrient-and-macronutrient-needs-in-roux-en-y-gastric-bypass-patients/>,
you know, The Doctors?
*Micronutrient and Macronutrient Needs in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Patients<http://bariatrictimes.com/2008/03/10/micronutrient-and-macronutrient-needs-in-roux-en-y-gastric-bypass-patients/>
*
Roux-en-Y surgery creates an increased risk for deficiency of certain
nutrients. Decreased intake in combination with varying degrees of
malabsorption presents unique challenges to achieving the macronutrient and
micronutrient status needed to thrive. Lifelong preventative actions, such
as supplementation, regular follow-up, and thorough patient education are
mandatory for accomplishing all the benefits and avoidance of the health
risks involved in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Given the nature of the
procedure and the individuals undergoing the procedure, no clear protocols
have been determined. The focus, therefore, is on risk reduction and careful
monitoring and follow-up, versus risk elimination.
Recommendations for RYGB patients are the following*(Links added are mine,
not a thorough list, will add more):*
• *Chewable, liquid, or powder multivitamin containing RDA levels of iron
and zinc taken daily.*

That is what I take one chewable twice a day and I use the Flinstone's
Complete because there is supposed to be more iron in it than the
Flinstone's Iron formula.

Right after surgery my Dr did have me take flintstones for the first month. Then he had me go to the prenatal vitamins.

Some programs may also recommend a separate daily B-complex or thiamine
(Vitamin B1). Also, some of us require additional vitamins and supplements,
namely IRON and VITAMIN D. Other trace elements may be suggested after you
have bloodwork done.

1g. Vitamin Recommendation List

Hi everyone, I am 5 months post op gastric bypass. I use the GNC Chewable Calcium Citrate with 600mg D-3. For vitamins I use the Centrum Chewable Multivitamin/Multimineral supplement. They have worked fine for me.
The calcium citrate was some what "gritty" and I found it easier to dissolve by taking sips of my morning coffee and crunching it up. So far, I have lost about eighty pounds and if you are interested, you can read my story about WHY I had the surgery. Thanks and have a good day! Melanie D. Calvert-Benton
