Post Surgery Checkup
Hi Everyone
Had my post surgery checkup yesterday (Tuesday for me). Surgeon is really happy with the way everything is going except when I mentioned that I am having trouble with my multivitamin.
He commented that in just over 4 weeks I am only about 2lbs heavier than I was when i lost weight with the lapband over 3 years. So yes, all is good except for them damn vitamins.
I am keeping up my swimming. One hour every second day but sometimes everyday. I actually got a bit burnt today so I will have to be careful.

Jules,
Not sure if you have them Down Under, but try chewables. . Your vitamins are extremely important and you MUST find a way to get them in as prescribed. I just read an article yesterday that really made me stand up and take notice and as you get further away from surgery, regular bloodwork to determine whether your levels are where they should be is extremely important.
Great news about your loss of weight, it will only get better and better.
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning here, Jules.
Congratulations on the great weight loss -- and the swimming is awesome -- wish I was a good swimmer. Bought a pass to the community pool just around the corner from me and I've never used it....bad bad.
Anyway, regarding the multivitamins....I have taken Flintstone's Complete ever since my surgery 3 yrs ago -- they are chewable and taste good -- I take two a day. My labs have been excellent. Worth a try!
Keep up the great work.
