Not tolerating chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

Please correct me if I am incorrect but aren't Children's Vitamins deficient in Iron and some other minerals? Is an iron capsule or tablet sufficent suplementation or do you have to go on iron shots. I had to have those when I was 8 months pregnant and my iron levels were bordering anemia. Even with Z--track those boogers HURT! FYI when my son was born he had high bilirubin levels, spent the first week of extrauterine life under bilirubin lights, just missed having an exchange transfusion. At that time OSU's criteria was above 20, my baby boy had 19.5. Yes folks the very same hospital I will have my Bariatric Surgery at, come September, now you can see why they gave me no 😱 fear, for me it was like "Coming Home" after a long journey away. If it is possible to 💘 love an megapopulous sized medical campus, I have had only GOOD treatment at their hands.

Updating because I said I would.
Just had my 6 month labs drawn and everything is still in the "normal" range. My D is back up thanks to additional supplementation, a few other minimal changes, but nothing more than a few points up or down. Interpret that as you wish.

      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! 😞
