I had my sleeve on Feb 23, 2016. I've started noticing a major loss in eyelashes recently. Has anyone else experienced this?

No eyelash loss are you taking your vitamins I'm on bariatric advantage and two premier protein drinks daily plus small portion meals

My NUT & surgeon have me on flinstone Multivitamins, which I do forget to take from time to time because I don't think they're great. I'm no longer on any Protein shakes. Maybe I should start taking them again?

You should...vitamins and minerals are very important to supplement when you're not getting proper nutrition from your food. Also, Protein is imperative to proper healing in the body. It also supplies your energy.

My NUT doesn't suggest we stay on them - she wants us to get used to eating "regular" food but I know I'm lacking in Protein so I started drinking shakes again this morning. Thanks!

Thanks emmajones34! I was taking them up until I had surgery and then couldn't for 6 weeks following with my surgeons guidelines on size of pills. I now cut them in half and started taking them again. They really do seem to help!

I'm having the same problem about 3 months out from surgery. Did the Vitamins help?

Amazed76, the vitamins appear to help! I'm not sure if it's just time and circumstance or the vitamins but I'm so happy they're finally coming back! Yay!!

My nut actually made a joke about "Flinstone vitamins DO NOT count!" My surgeon and nut both recommended either the Bariatric Fusion (with iron) or the Celebrate brand. Both are chewable and both are available on the Bariatricpal store. They are about the same price as my surgeon's office. Only thing I will say is that the iron seems to be making me..... constipated lol. So watch out for that! Otherwise, they are pretty darn good vitamins.
