Stupid mistake, read labels

I am a little over 2 yrs out. About 6 mths ago I change things up with my food, protien shakes etc. again I always made my shakes with milk or my morning tea with a cup of milk, for added protien calcium and vit D. Changed my protien shake to Popeyes Fruit Blast, delicious. I stopped having my milk and switched to Greek yogurt, assuming its dairy and will have everything I need, and I read the label but only check protien. Check the labels, most Greek yougut does not have vit D. So 6 mths later I am on a Perscription for 50000 ui of vit D daily. My level was a 24, I new somthing was off because I was tired, sore muscles, bad nails etc.
The only othe thing I have to watch is my iron levels otherwise everything is great.
I am a slow loser tho still want to lose 30 more pounds.

sorry to hear that your levels are down.do you take vit pill normally.i do  along with my calcium/vit d pill

sondra

I take a multivitamin, that's all they said I needed

i take extra vitamin d pill along with the rest of my pils.i take a total of 10 different vitamins at different times of the day

That's one of the differences between RNY and VSG? I don't think I will have to continue vit D long as I get it through my diet again, got milk lol. I have been taking it for 3 weeks already and feel 100% better.
How are you feeling Sondra?

You should also take a sublingual b12 since with vsg you lack the intrinsic factor needed tto make/absorb b12

I will ask about that at my appt this week. I do have the complete blood work done for my yearly check ups and they said everything else looks good. I was taking all kinds of vit before surgery and they wanted me to stop them and only take what I need. I do think blood work should be done every 6 mths and will talk with my family Dr about that.
