This Friday will be 12 weeks out of surgery for me (had the sleeve). Had my 3 month follow up at the hospital today. They are happy with my progress, down a total of 57lbs and have lost 30% of my excess weight. No post surgery complications. Blood work all good except that my D3 and my Vitamin A were 2 points shy of normal ... going to bump my D3 supplements up and start eating more A in my diet to avoid the supplements. I am using the Patch MD multivitamins and supplementing with Bariatric Advantage calcium chews (2 daily), B12 every other day, and D3 daily. Have lost 9 1/2 inches on my abdomen since surgery! Feeling pretty good about all of it.

Where did you get the Bariatric Advantage from?

The Shoppers Drug Mart at TWH carries the BA calcium chews and their multivitamins ... they keep them behind the pharmacy counter. A bag of 60 chews is $14.99 and there are several flavours.
