My doctor spent an entire visit just on the vitamin/ supplement information. Have you had surgery yet? Blood work should be done routinely after surgery to better dictate what your body needs. It will show what your specific body is deficient in. I take Bariatric Fusion--- 2 tabs in the am and 2 in the pm. Plus I take calcium citrate supplement total of 1500mg per day.

Ok- that makes me feel better. For the first 6 months you may end up taking lots of medications. I also take Atigal which will help prevent gallstones. And Postassium and magnesium and Prilosec. Your nutritionist and doctor should go over all that stuff- and if they don't - to me that would be a red flag to go somewhere else.

Usually a year after surgery when you can get more nutrients from food- you should be able to take a regular Multivitamin. But you should look into ones now that are specific for weight loss surgery.

      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! 😞
