Is there any reason why some sleeve patients are discouraged from taking gummi Vitamins? Does anyone know?

first I love my gummi vitamins...but my NUT so no go after surgery. His reason was that gummies do not have all the Vitamins we need. He said one in particular was thaimin and that chewables were better and contained more of the vitamins we need. My friend's NUT told her that gummies aren't absorded well in sleeve patients. So not sure which is true but I guess I will be gummi free after sleeve.

I had my surgery April 8th and was given a list of pills to buy from Bariatric Choice, I found the Iron, B12 and Calcium I liked however the chewable Multivitamins to me were nasty. I spoke to my surgeon about it and he said I could have any kind of multivitamins including the gummies; which Is what I am using now. I wonder why every doctor is different with this?!

      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! 😞
