The bariatric multi are not what you need. You need separate A D E K. I take 100k D and 125k A daily. Your multi won't get close to helping you raise your levels. A regular centrum type multi is a base level, then add the dry versions of other vitamins. Biotech is a big name for those. 50,000 unit D and 25,000 unit A and with your levels I'd suggest starting with numerous of each daily.
Yes, extremely normal, however for me drinking at least 50 grams of protein curve all if that....I do not eat carbs before 10 am, if early it causes me to want to eat. First I make sure my body releases in the morning, and drink my protein in the morning with my mornings vitamins and supplements, no carbs so early in the morning it set my day right.

I'm about 18 months post surgery and lately I feel like I want to eat ALL THE TIME. Is that normal? Is this how things will be now or is it more cyclical?
Hi everyone - Just saw my surgeon who wants to do my DS mid-June. She'll be using a robot. Has anyone had this done? I've recovered from a VSG previously and am curious as to how my recovery from a DS will be different, robot assisted or not. Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, Dr. Elariny is still doing the DS, but I have no connection to his practice so I could be mistaken.
I don't think the amounts you are now starting are going to be adequate to get you caught up. What I've seen over the years is that it's much easier to maintain good vitamin and mineral levels than it is to catch up once they tank. Also, if your protein levels are low, that will make it even harder to catch up on all the other stuff.
Just to give you an example, I take 100,000 units of dry D daily. Granted, I don't get any from sunlight because I need to avoid skin cancer, but still, that's a lot. Many people need at least 50,000/day. I suspect you will also need iron infusions, at least to get caught up. Of course, I could be all wet, but there are a lot of DS'ers who need them even without being in the kind of trouble you are in now.
