I am sure it is fine with those numbers but make sure you take a Multivitamin, Another one that is yummy to the max is Whey Gourmet Cookies and Cream. I get mine off the internet and enjoy the heck out of it. For more complete nutrition a Ready to Drink (RTD) from Walmart, etc, is the Atkins line or Myoplex. These RTD's have Vitamins and minerals. And if you like Slimfast, they aren't too bad either.

There are lots of options available for you and if you use the search function you will see many threads about ppl's recommendations.

Best wishes,

Mimi

my nutritionist is adamantly against the gummies! they don't contain Iron and that's important!! She says plain old children's chewables are the best. She won't even give the gummies to her kids b/c of the lack of Iron.< /p>

I just found chewable Calcium citrate at GNC and they're not too gross! So I'm taking chewable flintstones (2 a day...) and chewable Calcium along with B12 (because I was low in my bloodwork).

Watch those gummies cause with restircition they may stick. For now they are fine, but after you finish that bottle go to a Centrum complete chewable or even flintstones complete. They dissolve fully so you won't have any stuck.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
