Hey everybody! For those of you that missed this link, here it is. No matter what surgery you had, everyone should read this.  I printed it out so I could read it when I had the time without coming online.   It's about WLS post-op nutrition.  http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/15 50-7289/PIIS1550728908001639.pdf Let me know what y'all think.   Wen

I can't get it to show up.

It's a PDF file I think that should come up in your internet explorer if you have software like Adobe installed. You can also get to it by going to: www.soard.org (That is the ASMBS online journal.  I check it out every couple of months to get some of the latest most up to date info.  You can also search current and past periodicals for information.  It's a cool place to lurk.) There is a yellow circle in the middle (slightly right) part of the page that says: "Bariatric Nutrition"  to appear in  Volume 4 Number 5S  Sept/Oct 08 Supplement Click on that and see if you can get it to come up that way. 

Link does not work and I have Adobe.

Does it work for you using the other way (through the soard board)???

I had no problem getting it to load, using the link in the original post.  I saved it to my computer and I skimmed through it, it is 36 pages and I am still drinking my morning shake, so I am not completely awake yet, LOL.  But I did pay close attention to several sections (thanks to the "bookmarks" listed on the side of the pdf file) particularly the B vit section and also the Calcium Citrate vs Calcium Carbonate.  I was shocked to see that even at 1200 mg doses (what I normally take) that they have concluded that it was not enough, and suggested a higher dose (1500 if I am correct, could be wrong, like I said, still not awake fully yet, LOL) so wonder if I should go from 2 pills twice daily, to 3 pills twice daily.  Later on I will read the file more in-depth and take some notes.  I will go to my 1 year post-op with Dr Baker in August, and so I am sure next month I will be doing my bloodwork and I want to know what to look for.  And bring these papers with me to discuss with Dr Baker because I don't want to be lacking in any of the vitamin depts.  Too many things can happen, and you don't even know anything is wrong until it is to late, and I have enough health problems not related to surgery, so I don't want to add anymore.  Thanks Wendy for posting this, I will share it with some other groups I belong to. 

Hey Wendy, Thanks so much for posting this link!  Some of it is certainly waaaaaaaaaayyyyy over my head, but there are parts that I think important for me to copy and give to my PCP. I think I might print it out too. It will give me something to read on the plane next week. Hope things are better for you. Talk to you soon
