My doc told me just to take a chewable multivitamin. However, I was told by someone that taking B-12 would help my skin's elasticity.

By the way, Marissa, you are gorgeous!!

WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RESPONSE AND THE COMPLIMENT! MAY I ASK IF YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE? ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT MENSTRATING FEMALES NEED TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL Vitamin BUT I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. MAYBE Iron?

I am a female - to be honest, I don't know why I cannot get my pic to come up!!!

I am not sure about that Vitamin, but since you are younger it might be folic acid, Calcium, or magnesium. Sorry I wasn't much help doll.

If you take a sufficient multivitamin, there shouldn't be much more that you are needing other than your daily Protein and Calcium intake.

I totally recommend GNC's multivitamin for women. It has EVERYTHING you need in it and more. You can get it in liquid or get a pill-cutter to take it.

It is in a purple box with a pink flower on it - AWESOME!

I am 22 years old and before my surgery I had to get chewable multi vitimans, liquid Calcium, gas ex chewables, childrens luquid tylenol(didn't even use this, why would I since I got liquid codine by prescription)

calcium is the big one... is till take that becuase too much cant hurt but not enough can be THE WORST THING EVER!!!! my 22 year old friend lost bone density, and she shakes in pain at night... so anyways, hope this helps!

This will crack you up!!! "but it works" flinstone Complete Chewables" now go back and read it again. I asked were they serious??? You bet ya!! This is out of Henry Ford Hospital, so I new they weren't kidding. It contains a certain ingredient Choline. They said that would be a very big plus to all of us. They also put me on Pepcid Complete. I get my Calcium from this, and no sighn of Acid Reflux at all. "I think that stopped when I got banded."

I am very serious, I feel great!!!!! Shirley....:laugh :laugh

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
