I'm currently awaiting to meet my surgeon to schedule my surgery. I've been taking B12 and b6 because its low.

Every Doctor is different so i was wondering what kind of Vitamins are you guys taking?

I want to start taking them because i don't want my Vitamin intake to be low when its time for surgery.

Thanks guys!

After my bloods were done I was told I only had to take a multi. Will see how it goes next time. I'm 8 weeks out.

What's your Vitamin schedule like? I'm not sleeved yet, but trying to get in to habit of taking Vitamins thoughout the day. I'm taking a prenatal multi (it has all the same as the multi +biotin), D3 (2x a day), B12 (sublingual, 1000mcg per week for now -- maybe more after surgery?)

Currently...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12

Noon --

Night -- D3

After surgery...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12, calcium citrate

Noon -- Iron

Night -- D3

Does this seem right? My nut gave me a sheet with instructions for Vitamins on my last visit with her. I read them when I got home, so it was too late to ask for guidance/clarification. I won't see her again until after surgery I think...

A friend said she had a hard time taking the Calcium with all the other morning pills, but I'd prefer to just get them done if it works for me. I was thinking maybe calcium at noon, then Iron with the D3 at night, but if D3 helps with the calcium absorption, should I not put them together? Ugh I have no idea what I'm doing!

      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! 😞
