Here is an article regarding it. Unfortunately it isn't good!

That’s a massive amount of Vitamin D, and there are two ways you can better absorb Vitamin D. First, you require magnesium because it’s better at converting vitamin D into its active form than vitamin K and it also is very beneficial to your Calcium supplement. Second, and I realize this isn’t the safest method, but take 15 minutes each day in a tank and shorts and let the sun do it’s thing. This isn’t a permanent solution obviously, but it will help raise your levels faster than supplements alone and get you in to a safety zone. Now, I suffered from deficiency as well, and I ADORE Vita4Life Vitamin D and Calcium. Their calcium is chelated! I’ll link you their product page so you can take a look, but I really recommend not upping your Vitamin D but switching your mineral to aid absorption and honestly… switching to a very good filler-free bariatric vitamin. It saved me from this very issue.

One of the oldest and perhaps the best remedy for nausea is ginger. Try a warm cup of ginger tea
Calcium is an important mineral that is needed for the development of healthy bones and teeth; it is also essential to maintain proper muscle and nerve function. Because of the importance of calcium for maintaining a healthy body and preventing osteoporosis, calcium supplements are one of the most commonly used supplements in today’s society. However, some of the calcium side effects that have been uncovered recently may make some people think twice before adding this supplement to their daily regimen.
I cant find the nutritional information on this. Can it be made decaf? What would the carb count be? It says it has 20 proteins in it but if it has 50 million carbs I am out....
1300 seems like a TON for 6 weeks out! I couldn't even imagine how much you'd have to eat to achieve that. I'm around 1200 at almost a year out. I ate around 700-800 for the first 6-7 months and then ate around 1100 until I hit goal about 2 weeks ago. I lost 184lbs in 11 months and I'm a 6'1 female..I'd listen to your center but that seems a little harsh

hi,
So I just came from my Dr for my 6 week post sleeve op check up. I am doing really great...the veritable poster child for Cedars Sinai Center for Weight Loss Surgery. I have lost 42 pounds since surgery and have not had 1 single instance of nausea, heartburn, or trouble getting my fluid and protein intake.
So after the surgeon, I met with the dietician. She says that I am eating far to few calories a day and wants me to bring that up. To give you what I have been doing...I have been eating between 650 and 750 calories a day and have been hitting my protein goal of 90g per day. So I've basically mainly been consuming protein with very little fat and very few carbs. The weight has been falling off and I love it.
I am a male, 5'11 and she says that after 6 weeks (now) I should be on between 1100 and 1300 calories per day. Wow, that seems like a lot. I have been so happy with the way I have been losing and am afraid that if I up my calories I will stop losing weight. She assures me that won't happen, and warns that if I keep my calories so low for too long, my body will adjust my metabolism and make it even harder to lose weight.
What experiences have you had? I want to listen to her, but I'm really afraid of that many calories. Plus, while I am still in my honeymoon stage and really have nothing going on in the appetite stimulating hormone department, I want to take advantage and hit my goal while things are most favorable. According to today's body scan thingie, I have 51 more pounds to go to be at the "ideal" weight.
Please share your thoughts, experiences and advice.
thanks.

Since RNY 6 years ago I've become gluten intolerant and have reactive hypoglycemia. So now I'm gluten free and also scary low blood sugars if I eat more than 9 grams of sugar/carb.
I don't necessarily like the added diet restrictions added to my already bariatric diet restrictions - but I can live with it. It's a choice and I'm choosing to live within my restrictions.
I acknowledge that life isn't fair. But I'm in my goal range and a healthy BMI. I am so much healthier, have energy and can do so many things I couldn't do when I was morbidly obese. I'm blessed.
Best wishes, Penny

For the first two weeks post-op I was on full liquids. I did a lot of protein shakes and then french onion soup from panera that was strained. Yum.
Your hunger is most likely due to acid or lack of fluids. How much are you getting in a day? Are you on a PPI such as prilosec or nexium? If you aren't, see about starting one - they're both OTC.

Water, protein drinks, broth, jello. The good thing is that this stage only lasts briefly. I missed chewing lol. I was happy to chew jello and tried to convince myself that was good enough. I wasn't hungry though and if I was craving some kind of food, I knew for sure it was truly all in my head. Wishing you the best!
