What Vitamins Do You Take Now?



Recommended Posts

I make a Vitamin drink every morning; I take a dose of liquid multivitamin, drops of Vitamin B12 and D3, a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar (it's very cleansing and supposed to help with weight loss), then mix in about a half cup of Bolthouse Farms juice - to mask the awful flavor of the other stuff!!

We take everything. Multi 3 times a day, and extra D. We are phasing out the D now, though, since it is so sunny here. We really needed it in Vermont before.

Additionally, my wife takes extra Calcium 3 times a day. I have been as well, but I am drinking soymilk daily now so I won't be needing it going forward. Going to re-evaluate then and see if there is anything else we need to add to our regimen.

Doctor's orders...2 Flinstones Completes a day. One in morning one in afternoon. Your body cannot absorb both at once.

I have a question regarding vitamins: how soon after surgery do I start taking them? This is only my 2nd day post-op.

Thanks!

I was told to start the multi Vitamin 2x a day, sublingual B12 the day after surgery and my Calcium begins 1month after surgery.

Jut ask your surgeon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
