My nutritionist says no to Gummy Vitamins because they don't have as many Vitamins in them as the others. There are a lot of nutrients missing or are lower in the dose.

I take daily 2 flintstones multi vitamins' date=' B12 subliguil, D3 and Calcium. I'm having a hard time getting the calcium in though because of the wait. If I could take it in the morning with the others I'd remember but, I have to take 600 a few hours later and then another 600 2+ hours after that. I keep forgetting though.[/quote']

What kind of sublingual b12 do u take & where did u get it? Mine is called sun valley & i believe i got it at Walmart thing is it is gross.

I am having a really hard time with this surgery. I went back to my surgeon yesterday. I disclosed that I was taking Gummy Vitamins. She said at this point something was better than nothing! Just to be careful chewing them. I go back Friday for an EGD to see if I have a stricture. This has been the hardest month of my life!

I had my surgery Aug 28,12.

So sorry to hear that ur having a hard time. It is hard but think about the outcome. You have to think positive. I'm home alone all day so I don't have much support. So what I did is bought me some index cards and wrote on them and taped them everywhere in my home. Some say things like: YOU CAN DO THIS, THIS IS MY NEW LIFE, GOOD JOB BABY,. I EVEN HAD MY HUSBAND AND SON WRITE SOME FOR ME. IT KEEPS ME GOING STRONG. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
