Hello, i am new to this forum. I am 41 years old and 2 years post op. I was wondering if anyone can share with me what kind of vitamins they are taking now and how much. I am currently on 2 Centrum/multivitamin, 500 mg of B-12, and 1200 mg of calcium. I am wanting to get the B-12 injections instead of daily pills. I also heard about needing 1200 mg of Vita C. Anything else you want to share like what your eating habits are and what kind of protein you are getting in. Thanks!

Hi, I had my RNY 2 days before my 42 b-day and am 11 months out. I only do 1 multivitamin but do the B-12 sublingually (under the tongue) b/c the B vitamins aren't absorbed well with pills, the calcium twice a day (600mg per time) b/c they say only 600 mg will be absorbed at one time, and also Iron (b/c I'm pre-menopausal) taken a few hours before or after the calcium not together b/c they will bing together & won't get the benefits of them. I don't do any extra C vitamins. I don't measure but I always try to have protein with every meal and snack and limit carbs except the good ones like broccoli, lettuce, etc. I try to get all the water in but don't know if I always get enough. I eat fairly normally now except less avoiding fatty foods, carbonated beverages and sugar.

Hi , I am waiting for my date but my sister already had her RNY and she really like these liquid vitamins.I will be taking them also for the rest of my life so I decided to get me a website and tell people about how well she looks because she takes them.Go to http://www.vita10n1.com

They cost $30.68 per month but they last for 2 months unless you have someone else taking them with you.They have lots of extras in them and they taste like Tang but a little tart.
I add some nutrasweet to it so it can be Tang!It taste great!Ruth
