Vitamin patches



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried the vitamin patches? I'm concerned about taking pills and digestion. I wondered if anyone has tried the Patches and how well they worked? Have you had your levels checked to see if they are truly providing what our bodies need at adequate levels through absorption.

I’m 3 weeks post op and have been on the Patches since pre op. So far so good. I have not had my levels checked since surgery but my doctors office swears by them.

I asked my surgeon about these at my 3-week post-op visit and she advised against them and told me to stick with the regular chewable soft chew Vitamins. Oh, I had gastric sleeve if that makes any difference.

      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! 😞
