I am almost one year out on July 23. Just curious what Vitamins you all are taking? I have a dr appointment soon and sure he will go over everything that I need to continue.

I'm taking two Multivitamins, folic acid, and two calmags daily, alone with Vitamin D 3 times weekly, and B12 injections monthly. Plus IV Iron infusions as needed. But to be fair, I have had absorption issues long before the surgery. :)

I take B12 (500 mg daily), calcium chews 2 x per day, and the Bariatric Advantage multi. I also take mega red krill oil, cause I don't need cholesterol meds anymore. I also take Biotin, even though I am no longer losing my hair.

There is no "scientific" proof, but I felt better taking it. I did lose hair, but it wasn't horrible and it didn't last long.

Thanks for your help. I have done pretty good with what I take. A multi, b-12, Vitamin d, Biotin, Iron and Calcium. I don't take iron like I should. I tend to forget. All my levels test out great I was just wondering what all everyone else has to take:)

I take Vita4Life Multi-Plus and I take 4 per day. My surgeon recommended I take Vita4Life products because I simply can’t stand chewables. I've had nothing but great results with them. I take their Chelated Calcium. Multi-standard, and sublingual B-12. I swear by these Vitamins. I was speaking to someone there the other day when I placed my order, and they’re coming out with chewables shortly. I believe she said they estimate 1-2 months. You may want to check them out if you prefer a chewable?

I'm under 2 years out and I don't take any supplements.

My daughter however, has Grave's Disease and she takes the hair and nails Vitamins for Hair loss. It does seems to help. But the cause of the hair loss is different than our so IDK if that makes a difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
