ok a few more ??
Im here taking care of my sister (DebChap), she is 2 days out....
we are planning 4 tomorrow..she starts the protein & vitamins

The MD sheet says:
500_g of sublingual B12 (I can't really see the first letter before the g)

she bought B-12 500 MCG...is this the same?

is vitamin D-3 the same as vitamin D?  she bought D-3

she bought a box of iron from GNC, she said it was the highest dosage it was 65mg.
the MD wants her to take 325mg. ( this means she has to take 5 of the 65mg?

just making sure this all sounds right...& I know you guys are the pros!!!

thanks in advance  :)     Kelly

Yup it's all good.  D3 is the form of Vit D you want to use all the time.  The B12 dosages are in micrograms (MCG) so you got the right stuff.  Don't know what kind of iron you got... I have been taking Vitalady's Tender Iron... doesn't seem to cause stomach irritation and constipation, as some forms do.  Maybe she should build up to the iron dosage her doc wants, just to avoid irritation and constipation.  But I take 6 VitaLady Tender Irons a day.  They are 25 mg each, so the daily total is 150 mg.  325 sounds like a lot... is she sure of that? Or is it possibly micrograms, not milligrams?  (mcg not mg)

Best of luck to you and your sister!

Band to DS

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
