I need Vitamin counsling?!?
I was at work today and metioned to this nurse that I take a prenatal and Hair, skin and nail vitamin everyday. And she said that I really shouldnt take both because I dont need both if I am taking a prenatal. Is anyone else taking these both and are we suppose to take them both and why? I just remember the Dr saying it was ok for me to take a Hair, Skin and Nail vitamin but I really dont know if I was to take them both or just one. And where can I go to find out what they want WLS patients to get as far as a recommened daily vitamin intake. Or even a person who has not had the surgery. I want to make sure I am taking enough to help and not hurt!!! Thanks for all the info !!!

Hi Kelly,
My dr wants us to take Flintstone Completes along with Pepcid AC after surgery. We also have to take a liquid B1, and then after the first week he has us start taking B12. As far as my nails, after taking the Flintstones for the first week, I now have to trim my nails down every couple of days and my hair is growing like it has never had before. I am guessing that it is something in Flintstones, but he wants us taking them because first of all, they are chewables for after surgery, and they have the most multivitamins packed in them.
Hope this helps,
Theresa
