Low Vitamin A?

This kind of goes along with my post about low protein. More lab results came back today, and I am also deficient in vitamin A. I am waiting to hear from the surgeon about this, but imagine I will need a prescription vitamin A supplement. Any one else deficient in vitamin A? I do take a high quality bariatric multivitamin twice a day.

  • Yes, still taking it, I'm scheduled to go in at my 9 month mark (about a month from now) and get my bloodwork done again, and they will determine if I need to keep taking it, or if I can come off...we

    memory and concentration issues could also be related to low vitamin B. Take your vitamins. You can get away with that sometimes with the sleeve, but not bypass.

    How much do you take? I already get quite alot in my multivitamin. I read for vitamin A deficiency you need vitamin A in oil and at very high doses for a short amount of time. Then taper it off.

I had my bloodwork done a few weeks ago and I am deficient in vitamin A as well. (I'm almost 5 months post op)

My doctor said I should take 10,000 UI of vitamin A once a week. No prescription. I just bought it from the pharmacy.

I've been taking all my multivitamins and calcium consistently but I have been very low on protein.

Me Me Me BrisWife, I have to take a 10,000 unit liquigel once daily and look for a prenatal or bariatric multi that contains at least 4,000 units in it. Asked on one of the other threads, waiting to see if anyone answered. And FYI they didn't cancel either my Carafate, Zofran, iron and Vitamin D. So I'm still bumbling along Great Shape for the Shape I'm In, aren't I ????

I'm still on liquids due to a stricture, so no carrots fir me! Good idea, though!
Liquidate them into a soup
