I'm about 3 months into using wegovy... I've had issues with constipation! What a change. Lol
I'm working on that but the absence of hunger is amazing. I'm logging everything I eat into my fitness pal so I can track the nutrients.. doing OK with the proteins and carb, and the water drinking. I'm down to 170, and really happy I tried this. I definitely needed the DS to get from 430 to 190 or so... but these last 30 pounds I want to get rid of needed an extra boost! Thanks to everyone who have me articles to read! It was appreciated.

Charlie,
Over 22 years here for me to! From 400 to 160 still. BUT you are so right that we have to stay on top of all of our Vitamins and Dr visits and other stuff forever, it's the deal we make when we do DS !! Woo hoo
Yes. Anything in oil is not absorbed so it has to be dry or bioavailable liquid.
Is dry the only form that works for DSers?
I recommend "Effects of Semaglutide on Weight Loss and Health in Patients with Bariatric Surgery" published in Obesity Surgery. This paper reviews how Wegovy can impact weight management in individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery, including those with a duodenal switch (DS). Retro Bowl College
glad you are doing well, yes that is a real issue, I understand. try to get all your supplements before you go in bulk

Hi Everyone,
Been a while since I posted but I just passed year 15 since my DS and I am still going strong.
I've followed VitaLady's DS regimen since surgery and my labs have alway been great with a few small adjustments needed here and there.
My weight has settled at about 205 lbs and that's perfect for me.
The only downside of the vitamin regimen is the 28 pills per day. My wife and I travel quite a bit and I look like a drug dealer with ziplock bags full of pills in my luggage for a 3 month trip. We're currently living in Ecuador and it's not too difficult to get my vits from Amazon. We just order 6 months worth and ship to a friend and pickup when we visit the states. No hassle as I have a doctor's note explaining the huge quantity of pills and we've never even been questioned.
We'd like to spend some time in Europe (6 months to a year) but it seems very difficult to find dry A (50K units), dry E etc. as most of the shops in Europe carry vits in oil, not dry an trying to find A in 50K unit pills is impossible.
If anyone is living abroad and has any insights, please sing out.
Thanks and hope everyone is doing well!
Jeff
