May 26 will be my 3 month anniversary and I don’t want to get scolded by my surgeon. I have not been taking my multi vitamins or my calcium much les my iron. Some might ask why not? I just simply do not feel a difference when I do or when I don’t. What I am wondering is that if I am eating the right foods to get my recommended daily intake. I eat egg , fish , Angus ground beef, peanut butter, V-8 , milk shakes ( banana or cantaloupe ), green beans , T-Bone steaks, shrimp, Lots of orange juice, etc… Not all in one day ! I think I’m at about 1,000 calories a day. So let me know guys **** keep it real !

I wish I could figure out how to add my weight loss ticker.

I see Dr. Spiegel did your surgery, so what type?  We should all take vitamins and I can go into a list of problems for us, and very serious problems for those that have malabsorptive surgery.

What vitamin or lack thereof are you interested in?  And, please if you had RNY you MUST take your vitamins, must must must or you are in looking at big trouble soon.

I had 150cm gastric bypass on Feb 26 @ 466 and by May 10 lost 66 lbs. I do not take calcium or iron but the multi vitamins I say 2 or 3 times a week . I start to feel sluggish but I think that on the 26th when I get my B12 shot that will change.

When you sighned up for this you knew it was for life! Right? Vits and supplements are NOT an option! You don't feel the effect immediately but whe you teeth start to fall out,you get breaks in your bones, have neuropathy, memory loss and your organs and mind start to fail you will wish you had followed the program.
My iron got low in Jan(and I am religeous about mu vits and supplements). iron infusions ae evil! Iblew 5 IVs and it was horrible.
Check out Debra's post on what she is going through.
I know this sounds harsh but honesty is the best thing on this subject! Now, JUST DO IT!!!!!!

 Well, I guess if you're going to the Galveston RYD event, you'll hear first-hand from Debra what happened to her  .    


   (I just wish she would have decided to share it on the TMB and main forum for those who won't be going to the event. or even before the event - it might save some post-ops from going through the same ordeal before then.   But I guess she has her reasons to save it for then.   )
