I am almost one year out on July 23. Just curious what Vitamins you all are taking? I have a dr appointment soon and sure he will go over everything that I need to continue.

I'm taking two Multivitamins, folic acid, and two calmags daily, alone with Vitamin D 3 times weekly, and B12 injections monthly. Plus IV Iron infusions as needed. But to be fair, I have had absorption issues long before the surgery. :)

I take B12 (500 mg daily), calcium chews 2 x per day, and the Bariatric Advantage multi. I also take mega red krill oil, cause I don't need cholesterol meds anymore. I also take Biotin, even though I am no longer losing my hair.

There is no "scientific" proof, but I felt better taking it. I did lose hair, but it wasn't horrible and it didn't last long.

Thanks for your help. I have done pretty good with what I take. A multi, b-12, Vitamin d, Biotin, Iron and Calcium. I don't take iron like I should. I tend to forget. All my levels test out great I was just wondering what all everyone else has to take:)

I take Vita4Life Multi-Plus and I take 4 per day. My surgeon recommended I take Vita4Life products because I simply can’t stand chewables. I've had nothing but great results with them. I take their Chelated Calcium. Multi-standard, and sublingual B-12. I swear by these Vitamins. I was speaking to someone there the other day when I placed my order, and they’re coming out with chewables shortly. I believe she said they estimate 1-2 months. You may want to check them out if you prefer a chewable?

I'm under 2 years out and I don't take any supplements.

My daughter however, has Grave's Disease and she takes the hair and nails Vitamins for Hair loss. It does seems to help. But the cause of the hair loss is different than our so IDK if that makes a difference.

      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
