Hello all. New to the banded world. I was banded on 7/20 and i am currently in the mushies stage. I also had a ventral hernia repair, so i still have pain, but from the hernia repair, not from the band. What i want to ask is this. How bad is it that i havnt taken my multi Vitamin or Calcium until today. Almost a month has gone by since my banding and today is the first day i've taken them..... :w00t:

I didn't take mine at all until I was in "mushies" because they are hard to handle on an empty stomach, for most of us.

You should be ok; your doc will do bloodwork again soon anyway.

I have been taking Flintstones chewable since I was banded on 7/29. I have been eating mushy foods for a few days now with no problem. I have had flounder, scallops and other soft foods. I know I have been very, very lucky...

I started my Vitamins when I went on the mushie stage. I am not good at taking them because sometimes they make me feel a little funky. I do my best but usually wind up skipping a day here and there.
