I had my sleeve on Feb 23, 2016. I've started noticing a major loss in eyelashes recently. Has anyone else experienced this?

You should...vitamins and minerals are very important to supplement when you're not getting proper nutrition from your food. Also, Protein is imperative to proper healing in the body. It also supplies your energy.

My NUT doesn't suggest we stay on them - she wants us to get used to eating "regular" food but I know I'm lacking in Protein so I started drinking shakes again this morning. Thanks! :)

Thanks emmajones34! I was taking them up until I had surgery and then couldn't for 6 weeks following with my surgeons guidelines on size of pills. I now cut them in half and started taking them again. They really do seem to help!

I'm having the same problem about 3 months out from surgery. Did the Vitamins help?

Amazed76, the Vitamins appear to help! I'm not sure if it's just time and circumstance or the vitamins but I'm so happy they're finally coming back! Yay!!

My nut actually made a joke about "Flinstone Vitamins DO NOT count!" My surgeon and nut both recommended either the Bariatric Fusion (with iron) or the Celebrate brand. Both are chewable and both are available on the BariatricPal Store. They are about the same price as my surgeon's office. Only thing I will say is that the Iron seems to be making me..... constipated lol. So watch out for that! Otherwise, they are pretty darn good vitamins.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
