Addicted To Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Before vsg I would NEVER I repeat NEVER take my Vitamins. I now take vitafusion multivites and vitafusion Calcium (they are sooo delicious) I have to hide them from my husband and daughter. In addition to these I take Centrum chewables because it has more Iron. I asked my doc if I was taking to much and he said too many vitamins can't hurt so every chance I get I treat myself with a calcium Gummy trying not to exceed 5 in a day. I drink lots of Water to keep from getting gall stones. Has anyone else fallen in love with vitamins? If so, what kind do you take?

Actually I would be careful taking too many Vitamins. you can overload you system on 4 vitamins ---A,D,E,K. These are fat soluble vitamins, so if you take too much, you do not pee them out like all the other vitamins. hypervitaminosis is a well know syndrome and you want to avoid this. so take the recommended amounts and try not to overdue it.

Even though I have not had surgery(hope to have it this summer), I take my Vitamins. Most of us are Vit D deficient, so it doesn't hurt if we take more of the D3. Of course, with your location, you may get enough, if you spend enough time outside. However, I will not dispute that A,D,E,K are fat soluble, and are the ones that can be overdosed on.

Thank you for your post. Before surgery I was so malnutrioned (is that a word?) my doc said it wouldn't hurt to take enough vitimans. At my next appointment I will have blood work done and I will definitely know if I'm doing too much then I will back off lol

      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! 😞
