My program is a multi-Vitamin that contains 200% of daily value of most nutrients and 100% Iron, 1200-1800 mcg Calcium citrate, B-12 500 mcg daily or 2500 mcg weekly

Optional for me since I wasn't low in any of these Vitamins (but I take them anyway):

2000-5000 IU Vit D

2-4 grams fish oil (I take krill oil).

Every program is different though.

I take both of those twice a day plus these three once a day...Iron, B1, B12.

Doesn't the Multi EA have all the B12 you need? Dumb question I know. Lol. So I need to definitely get myself some B1. Thank you for the response.

Lol. You had me go and look. It sure does. My dr told me to take the B12. Now I'm gonna have to check back to see if it's still needed.

I did just read about the B12...you can't take too much. Also, I was told I didn't need to start for a couple weeks after surgery. And, you'll need to time your Vitamins, you can't take them all at once. Kind of a pain. I sometimes forget. I eat Breakfast...wait 1 hour take multi, wait one more hour take calcium citrate, wait about 30 minutes take b1 and B12. Then after lunch....one hour take multi and another hour take calcium citrate. At bedtime I take the Iron. I wonder if anyone else does this. I was told you'll get sick if you take them to close together.

Hmmmm interesting! That schedule is crazy!! LOL. I was just planning to take the chewys during the day and Multi Vitamins at night since I also have to take thyroid meds in AM which can't be taken at the same time as the Multi vit. I think they have a B12 spray they offer. I'm gonna check that out. Just wanna have everything I need at home for the first few days after surgery.

      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
