You can say that again. Dont let yourself get deficient or you will be sorry.
I laughed when I read that you said you were "released." LOL Gotta see the humor in some of these things sometimes and just relax. You have done incredibly well with your weight loss. What do you think helped you along the most? (Besides the surgery?) I am planning to have the sleeve sometime within the next 6-8 weeks. I am on the fence about gastric bypass. Still undecided. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Bonnie
Wondering if I should start stocking up on vitamins and supplements prior to surgery, when I can get good deals, or just wait and see what my surgeon says I need. Aren't some of these just mandatory for everyone? I'm not having surgery for another 6-8 weeks, hopefully and just trying to plan. Thanks Cheyenne.
Welcome to a lifetime of confusion. I had my gastric bypass 21 years ago and that was before they knew as much as they know now about nutrition. I wish that I had been able to have a different procedure because your life will never be the same again after this bypass I am now gluten intolerant lactose intolerant sugar intolerant soy intolerant and I pretty much live the Paleo Diet. So now I'm trying to completely eliminate grain and every meal is a new experience. So you have a lot of things to be confused about that's for sure do what your doctor says and go see a nutritionist because I can tell you an awful lot as well. Good luck
If I were you I would not stock up on vitamins because some are more tolerable than others it would be a shame to stock up on vitamins that you can take. Tablets are not the best choice because you're having a bypass you can actually half a tablet without it ever being absorbed. Your best bet is going to be a liquid vitamins or something with a very thin capsule that melts quickly or you can open the capsules up and throw it into your protein shakes. A lot of things you eat or not going to be absorbed in that include your vitamins too
