My NUT recommended Bariatric Advantage and told me to look at it as "a treat". I thought she was crazy, but I have to admit, I look forward to that caramel Calcium twice a day now! I couldn't stomach the chewable Multivitamins (I tried Flintstones and bought some opurity I'm going to try and sell on ebay!), so I bought gummies by One A Day Women's and they go down better. I'm not sure if they are allowable by my NUT, but I figured if she wanted me to take chewy Calcium, chewy multi would work as well!

My NUT recommends Bariatric Advantage too but the Vitamins make me nauseous so recently bought some gummy vitamins and they will have to do until I go see her soon!

Ran out of Iron but I enjoyed that so will buy some more from the Dr's next week when I go for my 3 month follow up-My labs look good so it should be ok for a week

I was taking a Vita-fusion chewable multi that I was getting at Walgren's but mt bariatric physician switched me to Bariatric Advantage AE because of its extra Iron content. It is a huge horse pill stink bomb that I could not swallow whole or in quarters........so I got my morter and pestle out of the kitchen and mush them up and put them in a blueberry applesauce cup. No problem now.

THE BA Vitamins made me horrible sick. Now, I take AlternaVites which is like a pixie stick style that dissolves on your tongue. The ingredietns are pretty good too. For whole foods and excellent ingredients try Garden of Life Raw One for women. They have lots to choose from. I still cant stomach the big pills yet but once I do I will moving to those.

My Nut, who is big time into food purity, won't eat sugar, drink Creamers, etc, strongly recommended Celebrate. I found out during lab work that I had very severe anemia. That plus an extra 100 pounds.. No wonder I felt like stomped dog doo! One month of two a day celebrate Iron and my level more than doubled. She said it is very well absorbed. It is a little costly but I am sold on the products. I buy online on their site.

      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! 😞
