Is it essential to take Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

Hey there everyone, I have had the band for six months but only with the last filling 3 days ago I have started feeling the restriction (7cc) Do you need to take anything? and is 1000 calories a day good? any advice would be much appreciated... :frown:

I take adult Centrum chewable vits. I think it is very important. Some days you may be getting everything you need from the tiny amounts of food, but I don't think it happens every day.

I either take a Centrum chewable or two Flintstone's chewables. I also take a mint flavored chewable Omega Vitamin. I think it's important to take Vitamins. As far as calories, I think everyone sets different limits for themselves. In my case I try to stay around the 1350 mark. My problem is exercise. I hate it and it hates me. I MUST get more exercise so I can start pushing these pounds off faster. It seems I'm at a stand still for a few weeks now. This fat does not want to leave my body.

YES! YES! TAKE VITAMINS! I didn't take any Vitamins for 5 mos. after I was banded and my hair started to slowly fall out! I started taking them and within 2 wks. my hair stopped coming out! I also added extra Iron.< /p>

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
