I am having some strange symptoms and have scheduled an appointment with.my surgeon and NUT but until then I'd like to know what everyone else takes on a daily basis and has your needs changed for those of you a year or more out? Any info is highly appreciated

Daily supplements: 2 Trader Joe's High Potency Chewable Multis, 1 Citracal petite, 2K mg Vitamin D, daily iron supplement (brand varies), Bariatric Advantage chewable probiotic, and a couple teaspoons of Equate sugar free fiber powder -- same fiber as in Benefiber but sugar free -- and cheaper!

I am just about eight months out so I can't answer the second part of your question. I don't have to do B12 or any special B vitamin supplements as my lab work showed they were not needed.

Waiting on labs but in meantime doing the Trader Joes Multi's and 5k of Biotin (my hair is the last sign of my youth, don't want to lose it) and a couple K of Vit D. Will see from blood test if I need anything else or if I can even forgo what I'm taking now.

I take:

when I wake up:

1 A-zinc multi vit

1 1000mg cold liver oil

1 10,000mg Biotin (for hair loss)

around 10pm:

A-zinc multi vit

2 x 400mg B complex (prescribe by doc)

1 400mg folic acid (prescribed again)

1 10,000mg biotin

1 40mg D3 vit (prescription once again)

1 1,000mg cold liver oil

I take my fast tab before I go to sleep (waking up chocking on acid is bloody nasty and scares the crap out of you trying to breath!)

and one in the middle of the day.

I should also take Calcium but its a effavesant that I just keep forgetting to take

sometimes I need a Iron boost which when I am having dizzy spells and tired all the time they just give me a blood tests and the 3 day pills to jack it right back up to normal.

I also drink 3-4 Protein shakes a day 35g of protein per shake as food is kinda hard for me still I top up my needs with more shakes

Not any more than the normal strand no.

But I take it so my hair gets stronger and grows quicker!

Plus it’s a good supplement to take it does jack for my nails because I bite them but yes my hair isn’t so baby fine any more and become real adults hair so I keep taking it!

So you'd say it's back to where it was before the operation?

B12 sublingual

Potassium Gluconate

Biotin 10000 mcg

Also:

Zyrtec

Lisonopril/HCTZ for my blood pressue

So you'd say it's back to where it was before the operation?

Not exactly but not far off it!

It was crazy fine and soft like new born babies hair it felt exactly like that too now it feels like hair like its not all gonna come out with a vigorous towel rub ya’know?

What I'm sposed to take: 1 bariatric chewable multivit, 2 Ca+/Vit D, and twice a wk a sublingual B12.

What I actually take: I will occasionally remember to take them. Less than once a wk. My last blood test last month showed a "dangerously low Vit D level" so my dr gave me Rx Vit D3 (which (ve never heard of). I've been taking it daily.

What I take:

Vit D3 5000U

Super B complex with C

Vit B12 2500mcg

Calcium Antacid Tablets 3per day

Biotin 5000 Mcg

Prenatal Vitafusion with Folic Acid Gummy X2 per day
