BetsyB 9 Posted February 23, 2010 You definitely need a multi--preferably one designed for banded patients. DEFINITELY. It may not be the cause of your current issues (for those, I'd check with a doctor--persistent fatigue can mean many things--or nothing), but it really WILL affect your energy level in the long run.

fhce13 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Yes not taking a Vitamin could be your problem. I feel off the "wagon" for a week and stop taking my vitamin and it certainly affected me. Also make sure you are getting your Protein. I am a huge fan of at least 1 Protein Drink a day. The real stuff from GNC or so. Not a slimfast or similar shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newdicarlo 0 Posted February 24, 2010 you may be low in Iron. the Multivitamin would help with that. I was somewhat anemic before surgery and now after surgery am moreso. I can tell if I miss a day or two with my iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bree99 1 Posted February 24, 2010 My surgeon instructs all his patients to take 2(!) adult, chewable Centrum a dayand two Viactive calcium chews (yum). Add a good Vitamin and get some extra sleep and see if you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
