What Vitamins and how much of them are you taking after post op. I am just wondering what the monthly cost of these would be.

Thanks.

I take two chewable vitafusion 500 mg Calcium (tastes like candy - sugar coated), two chewable Multivitamins, 2500 mcg sublingual B-12, 1000 mg fish oil (I have to swallow this one...couldn't find anything chewable. I waited until 6 weeks out to start this one.), and 10,000 IU Vitamin D chewable. Hope this helps! :)

I take 2 Celebrate chewable multivitamins and 5000mcg sublingual B-12 (Gonna check with my NUT on the dose next visit - but for the time being I know that too much isn't going to hurt me because it's Water soluble)

Thanks. Not to many Vitamins. I'm glad. I thought it was going to be way more.

I forgot to add, I will be taking Biotin in 6 weeks when I am allowed to add it per my NUT. I also will be adding chewable Calcium + d at some point.

I was actually scared that it would be way more Vitamins than this. As of now I am only taking 1 multi vit. and 4000 units of Vitamin D. I was low on vitamin D... should I be taking more? I haven't had my surgery yet. It probably won't be until mid sept. or Oct.

I have been taking 2 chewable multi Vitamins each day. I take Calcium a couple of times a week and B-12 sublingual 2x per month. So far all my numbers are perfect. I also use the 3-4 ounce liquid Protein shots (added to Water or tea) and these have lots of added Vitamins as well, so I think they are helping keep the numbers up.

With some of the posts I could not tell if the people listing their vitamins were taking everything everyday, or periodically. So far for me it has been a non-issue.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
