I had surgery 4/9/18 have lost over 60lbs since surgery so I guess I’m doing okay. I STILL HAVE NOT STARTED TAKING ANY Vitamins 🤦🏽‍♀️ I have zero energy & I’m sure that’s why

I'm no expert and nor as far along as you but my Dr's are really serious about taking Vitamins. The concern of course is for your major organs to function at peak efficiency while you are not absorbing less from your food. Vitamins don't have to be expensive, even a couple of Flintstone chewables a day are better than nothing.

I take a multi Vitamin twice a day and Calcium 3 times a day, I want the best outcome long term. Please call your Dr and check what they say.

How about a reminder on your phone or keeping them by your toothbrush. the thing is that you appear from your picture to be pretty young so it may not seem very important right now but it you develop osteoporosis for your kidneys or pancrease stop functioning as well due to Vitamin defeciancy your gonna regret something you could have prevented so easily.

Its like not wearing your seat belt in the car, or not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle, you may never get in to an accident but what it you do?

I use a pill organizer and if I haven’t gotten them all, I take them at bedtime. Great job, you look fabulous!

I also use a pill box with the days written on them. They cost £1 over here in one of our £1 shops ( don't know if you have an equivalent over there?) so very cheap!

I hate taking them, really I do but I take them every morning with my first cup of tea, that way I remember but also its just easier to do it and get it out of the way.

      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! 😞
