Vitamins- Recommendations?!



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op now, and I cannot tolerate the chewable vitamins. I'm looking for peoples favorite pill form mulitivitamins (preferably with iron), and Calcium with Vitamin D. Some of the ones I've seen are SO expensive compared to others. Others are huge and some not so big. Thanks in advance! :)

I get calcium citrate minis, high potency Iron (Walgreens brand) and I use the Centrum vitamints. I get them all from Walgreens. It's important to take your Iron separately from your Calcium (by a couple of hours) and make sure your multi has magnesium to help absorb the calcium. :)

      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! 😞
