Anyone not take a Vitamin?

I've always taken a multi even before surgery. I got my bloodwork done recently and everything was spot on. I don't know how it would have been if I didn't take my multi. I don't take anything else though.

yep, i cant handle the huge Calcium citrate! plus i had kidney stones two weeks after surgery so im afraid to take it. Just haf my six month check in, and my first labs done, everything was fine including calcium, but my Iron was way below which wasnt surprising cause i tend to br anemic. as for looking at your goals, you will for sure meet your goal of 155! We are close in weight and i am at 158 and still losing even though very slowly its still coming off:) Good luck!

I take my Vitamins since I eat so little and can't eat enough to get it all in. I take a Flinstones multi with Iron twice a day and half of a Twin Labs Calcium once a day with food or after eating. I got sick the first time I took my Vitamin. My surgeon's office said to take them with food and space them out througout the day. Never had a problem since.

I should mention the Twin Labs is a bariatric calcium- so it is chewable. Not awesome tasting but it works.

I never did. I'm 7.5 months out.

My 6 month blood work came back and I'm super deficient. In everything. It sucks because I'm tired all the time now a days.

I would suggest getting on at the very least a multi. It helps in the long run, seriously

When I had my blood tests done my doctor said I don't need a Vitamin. She told me to take Vitamin d and folic acid. I live in canada so that is why I need the vitamin d.

You should take a small chewy multi at the very least.

My blood work was perfect at 3 months. And by 6, it all crashed.

I'm a big vitamin advocate now. I use to think that I'd be fine without, but I wasn't okay.

Since we can't eat out way to high levels of Vitamins anymore, multis and supplements are the only thing we can do.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
