I haven't had my surgery yet, but my doc told me a Multi-Vitamin would be all I need. i'm already on Calcium and Vitamin D, so I will continue with that...after lots of research into this very question, I also saw people adding Biotin to help with the Hair loss. a lot of people take Iron, but i'm not anemic and it hasn't been recommended to me yet. at my pre-op visit i'll be asking more follow-up questions regarding Vitamins to make sure i'm getting everything I need.

Did you have any guidance from your team or nutritionist?

You should get guidance from your surgical team and nutritionist. Mine starts you out with a chewable Multivitamin - containing at least 18mg Iron and 400 mcg folic acid. Later Calcium and Vitamin d. But for amounts and how often to take them, please consult your nutritionist. Each doctor is slightly different.

Consult your nutritionist for sure.

Mine has me on:

2 Flintstones complete chewables

B-50 Complex

B-12 500mcg

D 5000 IU (I'm deficient living in the north)

2 calcium citrate with D (500mg total) TWICE a day

Whew!

      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! 😞
