Your needs may vary depending on whether you are male or female, whether you are still menstruating or not, etc. But the basic list I was given was a regular Multivitamin (for life), Vitamin B-12 (350-1000 mcg per day), calcium citrate with Vitamin D-3, 500 mg twice daily, at lunch and at dinner (should not be taken with the morning vitamins). If a menstruating woman, also Iron.

I personally take a B-complex vitamin and I also take Biotin because it supposedly will help with the Hair loss issue.

I take the Bariatric Fusion chewable multivitamin. Supposed to take it four times a day. I get in 3 most days. My numbers were great at my Sept appointment. It has everything so my surgeon recommended it instead of buying a bunch of seperate pills.

We're now susceptible to malnutrition since our stomach's the size of an egg. I agree with the other posts, but also include Biotin & Omega 3 Fish Oil. I keep thinking "Just do it" using the Nike slogan to help me stay on track. Being here, posting replies/talking about my own issues, has been a Godsend. I'm not alone, the sun rises/sets without my doing & I learn from others as we collectively share our healthy weight loss journeys. Good for you for starting this discussion: it helps everyone. Namaste.

I'm kinda bad about it too.

What I take daily are:

Biotin 5,000 iu
D3 10,000 iu. (I'm very low on vit D)
Calcium Citrate 600
OTC Iron pill every other day
2 Flintstones Complete Vitamins (these are what I hate. Any chewables really).

I was sleeved 2/8/17.

i was sleeved 5 days after you. how much have you lost since surgery? i feel like i'm super slow- which is fine. i'm glad it's going in the right direction !! also, have you started to notice you can eat more now. i am surprised at myself lately.

      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
