I just saw “Vitamin patch”
What’s that like? I tend to be a little leery of anything “ Patchy”

they came out a couple of years ago. A lot of people like them because you just put the patch on your skin and forget it. I've been hanging around on these boards for quite awhile (this and another one), enough to know that they work well for most people, but they don't for everyone.....a few people ended up with some deficiencies after using them for a few months. I've never tried them because I'm afraid I'd be one ofthe unlucky ones, and I don't want to deal with Vitamin deficiencies. But again, for most people, they work just fine.

Pardon me, care to explain why? I thought its good as gummies dissolve easily? Instead of swallow?

sorry - I thought I'd responded to this, but now I don't see my response. I did it from my phone, so maybe something got screwed up. Anyway, I'm not sure about the rationale for this, I was just told not to take anything in Gummy form. I assume it's either an absorption issue or they might not have everything in them that we need - I'm not sure. But I do know a lot of people's surgeons don't recommend them.

      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! 😞
