LaurynLove come over to the Under400 for the first time in 7 years or the Gals starting over 300 pounds thread(which I was original poster and started) we are here to support and love you. I only started in the mid to upper 300s but I too know the Plump Princess struggles and there have been others at your weight that have sought and found success. And one lovely facet, you will tend. to drop weight faster than average after surgery, it's almost a given. I have never tried Whole Foods Vitamins, considering their sterling reputation on other items, as long as they contain Iron and the trace elements they should be okay. I myself have been on prenatal vitamins since June except for a brief post-surgical period when they switched me to ground up chewables👅, ycch, never want back THERE again, loathed them. My prenatal are neat, sweet, small yet complete. And my blood labs have been just ducky!
Due to some other complications in my recovery I am on TPN, have had a PICC LINE in my upper left arm for 3.5 weeks, not as Scarey as it sounds, but I have twice weekly blood draws And everything is at proper levels where they should be.If you're curious about what happened, just ask, I have no problems discussing it. But you are very welcome on Bariatric Pal and we can help you further, just ask, okay?

I'm taking Source of Life Gold liquid. Expensive, but frankly they all are. This one meets my doc's B12 and Thiamine requirements, too, and I love that it's liquid (though it tastes terrible, truth be told). I have trouble swallowing pills since my surgery. I'm Iron deficient as well, so I take Floradix. Also liquid. Unusual taste, but I like that one.

Whole Foods brand specifically?

Usually your team will give you Vitamin guidelines but the very best ones will be the ones you can tolerate and will take regularly. I suggest buying trail/travel size first and everything post op from places with great return policies always.

Safe Journey 🎈
