Can I use this as a multivitamin?



Recommended Posts

A Protein Shake that I recently tried and really liked has a lot of good stuff in it. I was wondering if I could use this as a Multivitamin during the first & second stage after surgery? Here are the supplement facts: Serving Size: 3 Scoops Servings Per Container: 14 spacer.gifAmount per Serving spacer.gifspacer.gifCalories Total 134 spacer.gif from Fat 11 spacer.gifAmount per Serving % Daily Value+spacer.gifspacer.gifTotal Fat 1 g 2 spacer.gifSodium 140 mg 6 spacer.gifTotal Carbohydrate 17 g 6 spacer.gif Dietary Fiber 6 g 24 Sugars 6 g Protein 15 g 30 % Daily Value Vitamin A 100% Beta Carotene 5000 IU 100 Vitamin C Ascorbic Acid 60 mg 100 Vitamin D Ergocalciferol 400 IU 100 Vitamin E D-Alpha Tocopherol Succinate 30 IU 100 Thiamin (B1) Thiamine Mononitrate 1.5 mg 100 Riboflavin (B2) 1.7 mg 100 Niacin (B3) 20 mg 100 Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine HCL 2 mg 100 Folate,Folic Acid,Folacin 400 mcg 100 Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin 12 mcg 200 Biotin D-Biotin 300 mcg 100 Pantothenic acid Calcium Pantothenate 10 mg 100 Calcium Calcium Carbonate 30 mg 3 Iodine Potassium Iodide 45 mcg 30 Magnesium Magnesium Oxide 120 mg 30 Zinc Zinc Oxide 4.5 mg 30 Selenium Sodium Selenite 21 mcg 30 Manganese Manganese Sulfate .600 mg 30 Chromium Chromium Chelate 36 mcg 30 Molybdenum Amino Acid Chelate 22.5 mcg 30 Nickel Nickel Amino Acid Chelate 5 mcg Silicon Silicon Dioxide 2 mg Vanadium Vanadium Sulfate 10 mcg Boron Boron Amino Acid Chelate 50 mcg Brown Rice Solids 20000 mg*Vegan Protein Blend 18677 mg*Pea Protein Isolate Rice Protein Isolate Organic Hemp Spirulina Chlorella Barley Grass Juice Organic Inulin from Agave 5682 mg*Greens Blend 500 mg*DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid from Algal Oil) Life's DHA 1000 mg*Proteolytic Enzyme 84 mg*Protease (4.5) 29000 HUT*Bromelain 540000 FCCPU*Protease (3.0) 27 SAPU*Peptidase 2000 HUT*Protease (6.0) 4000 HUT*Dairy Free Probiotic Blend 19 mg*Lactobacillus Plantarum Bifidobacterium Bifidum (Providing 8 Billion Active Cells

Since no one responded I'm going to assume that's because no one was sure about it. I compared it to common Gummy Multivitamins (since that is what I would be taking during the first few months after surgery) and this Protein Powder mixed with milk or Water seems to have more Vitamins per serving so I'll probably just use this as my multivitamin and kill two birds with one stone and get my Protein and multivitamin in in one shot.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
