Does everyone take Vitamins?

I haven't taken any vitamins and I am not known to ever in my life. I am just wondering if any one out there does not take any vitamins too. And if you have not taken any vitamins and once you started, have you notice any difference.

Which vitamins do you take?

I ran out of Vitamins last month and decided NOT to take them for a few weeks. I mean, I was feeling great so who cares, right? WRONG!!! My hair started falling out in clumps!!! I have since started taking them again and noticed a huge diffence already. Good Luck!

Hiya,

I dont take Vitamins in tablet form but do drink Multivitamin juice. Goes down easily & no heartburn.

I have been banded 11 months now & lost 56 pounds & went through a stage where my hair & skin were crappy. I did try the evervescent Vitamin C that my surgeon gave me but it just made me gag.

Sounds crude but the juice serves its purpose in more ways than one as since banded I cannot digest fruit.

Good luck with your ckoice

My surgeon recommended that I take a multivitamin. Even if not banded, I believe that is a good idea. I know many people on here take Flintstone's chewables. I take the viactive chewable vitamins.< /p>

I always took Vitamins pre-band and I take liquid vitamins(Vital Earth) and liquid Calcium now. Sometimes I take Viactiv calcium for a choclate fix! I also take liquid Iron at my doctor's request. I never had an iron pproblem pre-band, but I guess I can't eat enough now to keep my levels up. I never had Hair loss after surgery and I think the vitamins were a factor in that.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
