lessstomachmoreme 6 Posted April 18, 2014 I am using optisource post bariatric surgery chewables. Bottle says to take 4 times a day, but I take 2 am and 2 pm, which was ok'd by my dietician. They taste a little like the old fashioned children's aspirin - orangish. (I feel like my hair is stronger and grows faster since I have been taking it, but that may just be that spring time is more humid and my hair isn't as dry.) Also take a Calcium citrate + Vitamin D, 1000 mg in 2 divided doses of 500 mg each. Brand at my weight loss center is Bariatric Advantage soft chews, which are a little pricier, but taste good. You can't take Calcium at the same time as Vitamins, so they are harder to remember b/c I take them mid morning and mid afternoon. Helps if you carry some with you to remember. On a side Vitamin note, I got some vitamin E oil and once my laparoscopic scars were completely closed and scab free, started massaging that into the scar every night and now they are almost invisible. A physical therapist recommended this after I had ankle surgery and it was miraculous, so I tried it this time with good results. I have also been using vitamin E oil mixed in with my after bath moisturizer I put on every day and make sure I massage into areas that are typically problem excess skin areas post op - arms, thighs, belly. I am also using a palmer's cocoa butter lotion with Q10 that I do believe helps tighten skin a little, also on problem areas. I am trying to do everything I can naturally to help my skin to be more elastic. I think being religious about vitamin and mineral supplements is key to limiting Hair loss and limiting a lot of absorption complications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessstomachmoreme 6 Posted April 18, 2014 forgot - optisource is available at walgreen's, so it's really convenient to pick up if I am running low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
