Does everyone take Vitamins?

I haven't taken any vitamins and I am not known to ever in my life. I am just wondering if any one out there does not take any vitamins too. And if you have not taken any vitamins and once you started, have you notice any difference.

Which vitamins do you take?

I ran out of Vitamins last month and decided NOT to take them for a few weeks. I mean, I was feeling great so who cares, right? WRONG!!! My hair started falling out in clumps!!! I have since started taking them again and noticed a huge diffence already. Good Luck!

Hiya,

I dont take Vitamins in tablet form but do drink Multivitamin juice. Goes down easily & no heartburn.

I have been banded 11 months now & lost 56 pounds & went through a stage where my hair & skin were crappy. I did try the evervescent Vitamin C that my surgeon gave me but it just made me gag.

Sounds crude but the juice serves its purpose in more ways than one as since banded I cannot digest fruit.

Good luck with your ckoice

My surgeon recommended that I take a multivitamin. Even if not banded, I believe that is a good idea. I know many people on here take Flintstone's chewables. I take the viactive chewable vitamins.< /p>

I always took Vitamins pre-band and I take liquid vitamins(Vital Earth) and liquid Calcium now. Sometimes I take Viactiv calcium for a choclate fix! I also take liquid Iron at my doctor's request. I never had an iron pproblem pre-band, but I guess I can't eat enough now to keep my levels up. I never had Hair loss after surgery and I think the vitamins were a factor in that.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
