Bariatric Choice Bariatric Vitamin Supplements
For many patients, bariatric surgery represents the start of a new life. With it, your doctor will recommend a new nutritional regimen, and you’ll count both calories and grams of protein to optimize your nutritional intake.
Bariatric surgery, however, changes the digestive tract. Patients who aren’t fully on top of their diet or alert to common post-surgery nutritional deficiencies may find themselves sluggish and unable to focus after a couple of months. Or they develop anemia, osteoporosis or a B12 deficiency.
Diet Direct launched Bariatric Choice bariatric vitamins to support patients during this stage of their weight loss journey. Our post-bariatric surgery vitamins are formulated to address your updated nutritional needs — like higher amounts of certain vitamins or minerals — and feature bioavailable, easy-to-digest ingredients for reliable, improved absorption.
The Importance of Bariatric Vitamins
Following bariatric surgery, the changes your digestive system undergoes alter how your body absorbs nutrients. Patients, in response, plan their diets around high-quality, nutrient-rich foods, only to find they aren’t receiving enough iron, B12, vitamin D or calcium. These deficiencies may contribute to:
- Neurological changes, like memory loss, brain fog or irritability
- Osteoporosis
- Kidney issues
- Fatigue, which impacts your ability to exercise and hit your weight loss goals
What Are the Best Vitamins to Take After Bariatric Surgery?
Your doctor may direct you to one of the following:
- A bariatric multivitamin with iron.
- A calcium supplement or bariatric multivitamin with calcium that offers about 1,200-2,400 milligrams per day based on the procedure performed.
- Vitamin D3, ideally supplemented at 75mg per day.
- Vitamin B12, supplemented at 500mg per day.
