I had lymphoma 5 years ago then did bone marrow transplantation 4years ago. I had sleeve surgery 38 days ago my surgeon told me to eat 2capsules of multi Vitamin a day but my oncologist told me that u must not! Eat Multivitamin it may cause that ur cancer comes back! I don't now what to do ? Any one with this experience? Do u still eat Multivitamin?

I hope you find your answers soon, I'm no doctor and I just don't and can't fathom having what your body needs is a cause for cancer to come back. 80% or more of cancer is usually diet related, like processed foods and tons of sugar (which it thrives on). Congrats on beating the cancer! And good for you to take charge of your health with the sleeve. I really do hope you find your answers!

I've never heard of such a thing. In 1999 I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma stage 4 (aggressive). I had a stem cell transplant using my own stem cells. After going through chemo if you did I simply can't imagine a Dr. saying not to take Multivitamin. I am NOT a Dr. but I would certainly get a second opinion on that. Good luck and congrats getting thru your bout with cancer. God bless hun.

      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.

      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! 😞
