Any bad experiences ? by not taking vitamins/protein drink



Recommended Posts

I am so afraid of losing my hair that there is no way I won't take my Vitamins. I hear ya on the Protein Shakes as I am sick of drinking Isopure Protein Drinks. I know I need them but man.......

Any particular multivitamin we should take? I was given a lot of information but not a lot of detailed information about how many milligrams of different Vitamins I should take. I only know that I should make my way to 60 Protein. But what about the other vitamins and minerals how much of each?

Double check with your nutritionist. We were allowed to choose whatever multi we wanted, but we were given specific amounts that we should take. I don't know them off the top of my head. They are written down in my handbook.

I had a thiamin deficiency last year. We caught it before it got critically low. It is normal this year. Our bodies store certain Vitamins and deficiencies may not cause issues until years later, then it may be irreversible. If you have a chance to attend a class on vitamins, please do so.

I have read that the binders in regular Multivitamins are so strong that it interferes with absorption. This is a big advantage for bariatric multivitamins. Trouble I had was those bariatric Multi Vitamins made me feel ill. First 18 months post op I did a liquid multi but I hit a rough patch and was having trouble eating. I switched to gummies figurimg they'd be fine along with good nutrition and a daily premier protein(enriched with vitamins). I also eat healthy and take other Vitamins. I take B complex sunlingual drops, Vitamin D. I used to be good about the calcium citrate but I understand that is controversial now. Big ugly pills that I have way reduced. Need to talk that over with the doc.

If you like coffee you will love this Protein Shake. You can order them on Amazon.... Just a little pricey but will help you get the Protein in daily that's needed. You can also Google them and they will send you a sample. I mix mine with fair life milk 10 oz and two scoops. ( amazing ) just try it!!!! Two of these shakes and you will get in 60 grams of protein in than count your protein you eat. I know protein is hard to get down but this shake made it very easy for me. I'm a little over three months and still drink two a day.attachicon.gif ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1445679103.781937.jpg

You, my wonderful friend, are a saint and a scholar. I *need* this coffee protein ;w;

      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
