Bsharp86 2 Posted April 19, 2016 What are you eating/drinking? Are you talking any Vitamins? I've really been slacking on taking them. But I've lost 25lbs since surgery, on February 11th. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted April 19, 2016 3 months post-op I was able to eat lean cuts of softer Protein such as fish and chicken. Trust me you will get tired of eating fish and chicken. And getting in around 96oz of Water based fluids in per day. One thing I would warn about is trying to consume raw veggies. I would wait at least 6 to 8 months. So things like salads, carrots where hard on the tummy for me and caused very uncomfortable bloating issues. I was still using Protein Shakes somewhat daily but instead of relying on them to give me basically all my protein grams per day, the shakes were giving me about a 1/3 or my daily intake goal.

JamieLogical 8,713 Posted April 19, 2016 You need to be taking your Vitamins. You have to take them for life, so you might as well get used to it! Are you having regular blood work done to make sure you aren't developing any deficiencies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamieLogical 8,713 Posted April 20, 2016 My nutritionist has me on a bariatric Multi-Vitamin twice a day, liquid B12, a probiotic, and calcium citrate +D3. In addition to all of those, I take Vitamin C, Omega 3, extra D3, and under the advise of my doctor for carpel tunnel: coq10.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App Don't take your Vitamins all at once, try breaking it up thru the day, make sure you have something on your stomach. I have some chewys, .it's important you take the vitamins.. You will feel a difference! Sent from my XT1575 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCF2361 4 Posted April 21, 2016 I'll give them a try again. I take capsules and the dose is 3 capsules a day so I'll take them throughout the day. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airstream88 361 Posted April 21, 2016 My NUT recommends nutraMetrix Vitamins. They are powdered and you mix them with 2 ounces of Water. Because they are Isotonic ( like the meds that are put through IV's ) , you only have to take them once a day and the Multivitamin and Calcium can be mixed together. My WLS surgery is not until the fall but I just ordered 90 days worth so I could get in the habit of taking them. My NUT also warned us that Vitamin deficiencies can take years to show up.
