I've had one multi, my extra Vit D, one dose of calcium and my prevacid (not a vit but on my list of pills to pop daily)
I've had 10 g of protein so far and behind on my liquids...I'm going to be eating or drinking every hour now until bedtime :P
Thanks for the post Kelly
Celebrate ENS shake (multi, calcium, 25g protein)
greek yogurt (10g protein) with fruit finally
2 oz chicken breast (not sure how much protein)
25 oz of fluids (not counting in the shake or my potassium fizzy)
need my chewy calcium.
so i think i am doing ok..
Also, if this helps, three ounces of meat is about the size of a deck of cards.

I take and additional 2mg of Folic acid aside from what's in the multi and prenatal because of a blood abnormality and the fact that I'm nurishing a second life!
I've done good with protein at 100+ so far and haven't had dinner yet.

The other stuff I take, like D3, A and zinc, is based on my labs. Those were low. You don't need to take anything else unless your labs show you do.
But was your vitamin D level really good without taking any extra beyond what's in your multi and calcium? You would be the first post op I've ever known that did not need to take more D3. I've known a couple that did OK with 5000 IU a day, but most need at least 10,000 IU a day, some more than that. For instance, I need to take 50,000 three or four times a week, which works out to about 28,000 a day.

How would I know I need D3 other then lab work? Is there a way I might feel or something that might be going on in my body that I might notice?

"Recent studies consider the lower limit of 32.0 ng/mL to be a threshold for optimal health."
Is that the test for all Vit D or is there a test for just Vit D? Because if there is my doctor didn't order it, that and the B, blood count, protein and lipid panel are all he took.
If there are other test let me know cause I can ask my PCP to order them ASAP and I see her at the end of this month
