Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 , I take chewable prenatal vitamins, two every day. There are two that I know of, Natachew (better tasting of the two) and Nutrinate. Both require a script from you doc I believe. Axelrod Thank you! And vitamin question Hi Everyone, Thank you so very much for your heartfelt replies...lol, I woke up this morning and had to take the last HPT just to make sure...I now have three of them with lines sitting in my bathroom... I had a question about vitamins - I am not sure what you are put on for vitamins after the rny, but I have been on the flintstones chewables, two a day since my vbg. Not sure it is the proper " mix " of vitamins, as I know during pregnancy you need 400U of folic acid. Are you all able to tolerate the prenatal vitamins (Materna) or do you still do the chewables? Thanks in advance, VBG May 6/03 -104lb EDC Nov 10/04 (seems so long from now!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 , I was put on Prenate Chewables for my post-op pregnancy. I was not able to tolerate them at all. Not because of the RNY, but because I am a sufferer of Hyperemesis Gravidarium (severe morning sickness.) For me morning sickness lasts the entire 9 months. So, I was told to take 2 Flinstones a day, and every other day I took 3 Flinstones. That worked well for me. Best wishes!
