So I went out this morning to buy all of my vitamins that I am going to need after the surgery and I was very overwhelmed by the variety and the choices that there are out there!
I was VERY thankful for my information package that I received from the Bypass Class. It narrowed down my options. I had to buy vitamins that were either chewable, or liquid at first, until my new stomach is able to handle the kind that you swallow. I was very surprised at the price... I was able to get everything I need ... for $60.. and that's for a two months supply.
These are what I found:
Jamieson B12 Fresh Mint Strips (the dissolve on your tongue)
30 strips for $10.99
Jamieson Chewable VitaVim
60 tablets for $11.99
Wampole Calcium and Vitamin D Liquid
350 ML for $16.99
I kind of wish I had picked up the Chewable Calcium with Vitamin D that said they tasted like caramels, but I didn't see them until after I paid... maybe next time!
One more week to go until I see the dietitian and social worker. I feel like time is going by sooo slowly. I'm also a little bit scared about meeting with them. Ive heard from other patients that they postponed their surgeries because of depression, or because they weren't informed enough.. and I really don't want that to happen to me!!!
I am not an emotional eater.. other than that fact that sometimes I eat out of boredom... My biggest issue is that i eat the wrong amounts of food at the wrong times. I also read that some patients have to go back to see the Dietitian and SW twice for follow ups before even getting a date.
Im just really really impatient. Cant wait to get some answers!!!!
