I know this may sound stupid..but what do Vitamins really do for us? Is it because we don't get much nutrients now? If I don't take them will I lose my hair?

Vitamins and minerals keep us healthy. All sorts of diseases are caused by lack of Vitamins and minerals. You take Calcium to keep your bones strong. Lack of it can cause osteoporosis or even weak bones which could cause a fracture. Lack of Vitamin C can cause scurvy which can make you have gum disease for just one. Each Vitamin has a specific job in your body.

After VSG surgery, you are not eating a variety of foods to get your vitamins and minerals, so it is extremely important that you at the very least take a daily Multi-Vitamin. Whatever vitamins your doctor recommends, you should take to keep yourself healthy.

      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! 😞
