Anyone not take a Vitamin?

I've always taken a multi even before surgery. I got my bloodwork done recently and everything was spot on. I don't know how it would have been if I didn't take my multi. I don't take anything else though.

yep, i cant handle the huge Calcium citrate! plus i had kidney stones two weeks after surgery so im afraid to take it. Just haf my six month check in, and my first labs done, everything was fine including calcium, but my Iron was way below which wasnt surprising cause i tend to br anemic. as for looking at your goals, you will for sure meet your goal of 155! We are close in weight and i am at 158 and still losing even though very slowly its still coming off:) Good luck!

I take my Vitamins since I eat so little and can't eat enough to get it all in. I take a Flinstones multi with Iron twice a day and half of a Twin Labs Calcium once a day with food or after eating. I got sick the first time I took my Vitamin. My surgeon's office said to take them with food and space them out througout the day. Never had a problem since.

I should mention the Twin Labs is a bariatric calcium- so it is chewable. Not awesome tasting but it works.

I never did. I'm 7.5 months out.

My 6 month blood work came back and I'm super deficient. In everything. It sucks because I'm tired all the time now a days.

I would suggest getting on at the very least a multi. It helps in the long run, seriously

When I had my blood tests done my doctor said I don't need a Vitamin. She told me to take Vitamin d and folic acid. I live in canada so that is why I need the vitamin d.

You should take a small chewy multi at the very least.

My blood work was perfect at 3 months. And by 6, it all crashed.

I'm a big vitamin advocate now. I use to think that I'd be fine without, but I wasn't okay.

Since we can't eat out way to high levels of Vitamins anymore, multis and supplements are the only thing we can do.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
