Thanks for reminding me, I may not be able to get the time off.
I need to contact Heather about it and let her know.

Topic: RE: Semi-new with a question.
I've yet to see other's degree in nutritional education that are posting vitamin information on this board as fact. Personal experience is fine but if someone takes vitamins based on that person's recommendations and they are not medically certified, they could be sued and lose everything they have. And that could even cause this site to be shut down.
What I post are links and excerpts to well known HONCode, Medical sites.
According to your earlier post, you are planning on having surgery. Once you are on the other side of the knife perhaps you will better understand the difference in the needs of a post-op and a non-op.
Yes, I am having surgery. I am planning on the sleeve because I do NOT want to have the hassle of malabsorption. My system has enough trouble and the DS is not an option anyway.
Yes, the OP is heading for surgery. She has not had it yet. Her original question had nothing to do with what was in the vitamins until someone from the DS board stepped in and had to start in. And this wasn't even HER forum. She even admits to sticking her nose in. Then the thread went off topic completely.
So I am apologizing to Kelly for that...she doesn't need to be bothered with this just before her surgery. And Susan, I am not answering any more about this.

Hi Liz, that was ME, you know, the one sticking her nose in. My surgeon is in TN. My follow up is in TN. I do belong on this board thankyewverymuch. You, however, are spouting inaccurate information to someone who is going to have the DS, a procedure you obviously know little about. Very few registered dieticians working with surgeons who perform the DS are educated about DS nutrition requirements and the surgeons themselves less so. As someone who not only has had the DS but has educated herself about the DS for months prior, I felt it was my responsibility to make sure the OP knew about other supplement options. Not that I owe you an explanation for anything, but I do feel you attacked me with NO provocation whatsoever. Defensive much? There's enough misinformation about the DS on the main board. I don't want to see it flung about like the gospel over here.
To the OP, please come to the DS board and educate yourself about your supplement needs. The recommended vites are inadequate. You and anyone else who has questions about the DS, supplements, malabsorption, etc. PLEASE ask here, ask on the DS board, PM me or one of the DS vets. Don't let someone who's been on this forum 2 weeks put you off with lengthy and inaccurate diatribes.

Sorry Charlee...I moved you to TN. I'm so used to you being here that I don't care where you lay your head. Like it or not, you are one of us! LOL

Wow - I just got done reading this thread. I can chim in as a DSer who lives in TN... LOL. You are going to need to get your vitamin D from vitalady. I dont care how many multi AEDK you take - your D is going to be **** My D was LOW - I was taking 3 MULTI AEDK a DAY - my D never broke 22. I started Vitalady 50,000 IU D and in just 2 months it went up to 66.

I kept looking around for the person from the DS board sticking in their nose... But, I did not see any one who did not belong here. Charlee does belong here! We claim her as one of ours... (even if she is in Arkansas, LOL haha!) I was just a little confused there for a minute. Anyway... just sayin.
Topic: RE: Gatorade G2
As an RNY patient, I would prob be careful of the Gatorade G2. I looked up the stats on the fruit punch and it showed 7g of sugar per serving (not sure if a serving is 8oz or a 20oz bottle).
I know that I might be able to tolorate that amount of sugar, but that is excess sugar that you may want to reserve for something else.
I'm with the other posters in going with the Powerade Zero as it has no sugar or calories. Also comes in plenty of flavors now (My favorite being orange!).
