Thanks Med and Ponchik. I thought being on a wood floor, I was okay, but I tried in two different spots. I usually weigh in the bathroom, but I know we need new flooring there. I see the surgeon tomorrow so I will try and find a spot soon enough and hopefully it is very close to doctor scale! Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

Thanks. I have a Vitamin Shoppe close by. I was just there last week buying my shake stuff, but forgot to look for it there. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

I bought a weight watchers scale today. I'm pretty annoyed by it. I weighed myself in three different spots and got three different results. All are within a few pounds, so I have no idea which one is correct. I think I'm going to take it back tomorrow. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

If u still have gall bladder, my surgeon puts all his patients on actigal for six months 2 times a day to prevent gallstones. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

Burping is good! Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

Did you take actigal after surgery to prevent gallstones? Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

The nurse told me before I left the hospital that it could take up to 3 days for a bowel movement. But it is unusually that you aren't passing gas. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

I also have to start drinking my fluids the moment I get up or else I get busy and forget about it. Then before you know it, a few hours have passed! Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

That stinks were you anemia before surgery? Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

You feel full from the swelling and fluids from surgery. Just try and sip as often as you can. It also helps to walk as much as you can. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

Thanks Terry. I talked to my Nut again and I've been taking the Vitamins as the bariatric team has advised. My Nut also told me that it takes a year or more to see any deficiencies. I was surprised that it takes that long, if you develop them. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199

I'm glad this thread was started. So my bariatric team tells me to take 2 multi Vitamins a day, 2 calcium citrate a day, 1 b12 a day , 1 Iron a day and one Vitamin D once a week. I go to see my internal medicine primary doctor (not surgeon office) and she tells me that I only need 1 multi, no calcium the rest is the same. I'm confused. My gut tells me to do what the bariatric team told me to do, but I trust my doctor and she will be the one looking at my labs going forward. I certainly don't want to develop deficiencies, but I don't want to take a bunch of vitamins if I don't have too! Not to mention, you can't just take them all at the same time of the day either. I'm curious to know if your surgeon is requiring the same dosage of vitamins. Start weight 224, Surgery weight 205, Current weight 199
