OP I'm sorry! I hope you can get your levels back up and feeling better soon. It took courage to share this. All the best to you.

Chewable Vitamins can be great.
Just want to say that Nascobal offers both pills to swallow and chewable. I talk about nascobal a lot on here but partially because it makes my life so much easier and helps me get my vitamins. Also only 25 dollars a month for me because it is a prescription.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App



I also use Nascobal. I thought the chewables would be great, but for some reason, they made me sick to my stomach. I switched it to the tablets. Looking forward to getting this shipment in.

I'm still stuck on the odour?

Yes...maybe people are just too polite to tell me I stink, but I feel fairly odorless...I have never heard of the RNY Reek.

In fact, I smell much better (to myself). Before, I could always smell my own sweat. Now I don't...

It was offered to me through my surgeon's office. My nutritionist actually presented it to me and sent it in from the doctor's office. Call your doctor's office to see if they participate. It has to be sent in from the doctor's office because it is actually a prescription.

As to the odor question... I sat in a small office for 2 hours next to a bypass patient (12 years out). She was normal bmi, and no odor.

Possibly they are referring to gas or skin infections.

I am 13 years out and have never had an odor other than the normal ones when I really work out and sweat or sometime when I eat broc and have gas real bad. lol never have ever heard of this one at any of the support groups or Facebook sites I use either.

I think even without a weight loss surgery in the picture your current diet and lifestyle would get you sick. Dehydration is very easy to achieve and most people dont drink nearly enough liquids as it is.

      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! 😞
