Protein shakes have iron in them.

Please ignore. It was misinformation online. I was concerned if they had a lot of Iron that the Calcium chew I was taking with them wouldn’t absorb as well but I checked the actual shake and it doesn’t have iron. It does have 650mg of calcium though so if I don’t take the multi with it I may be able to save some money on calcium chews. It’s calcium casenite. Just need to figure out if that is a form of calcium that we absorb post surgery.

Thanks!’ I thought so too, but I never heard mention of that other one so I’m gonna give it a run by my dr when I see him post surgery about that and whether I should start with the regular bariatric or the Sadi specific Vitamin right away. Just doesn’t make sense to take the shake and the chew together if they both absorb. Either I will end up absorbing too much or just pee money down the drain. Same thing if I take the multi and the shake if the Iron just cancels out the Calcium in the shake. Not the end of the world either way. I’m sure it will work its way out when I get my first labs but now I’m curious. 🧐
