Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hi From the manual Take the multivitamin at three times the dose recommend by the label on the bottle of vitamins that you have Purchased. Do not start the vitamins until 2 Weeks after Surgery. Then, REMEMBER, you need to take vitamins for the Rest of your Life. Numerous vitamin brands are probably acceptable. You should select one that includes IRON in the list Of minerals. Vitamins have iron and can upset your stomach but they are absolutely necessary. If they cause nausea, Stop them for a day or two and then restart and begin with one a day with meals and build up slowly to the three a day. Wal-Mart sells a brand called " OneSource " Multivitamins. One of these three times a day is a good choice. Children's Chewable vitamins contain lower amounts of vitamins particularly B12 and they are not recommended. Warning: The Gastric Bypass is very effective in causing weight loss because it causes malabsorption of fat and calories, Which is good for weight loss. But, the Gastric Bypass also causes malabsorption of some vitamins and minerals, which is Potentially dangerous to you. Note: Most Drugs and Medications are NOT malabsorbed after Laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass . Remember: It is very important that you plan on taking high doses of multivitamins for the rest of your life after Laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass . -- Vitamin List I was wondering if anyone would mind writting me to tell me which Vitamins they are taking and how many MG and How often. I know what we Are to take from our manual but the manual I have is 3 years old. I Was curious to see if it has changed. I have started taking my vitamins yesterday again after about a 6 month Period of not taking them. I have been sooooo tired lately with no Energy and just don't feel like getting up and going in the morning. I Already feel the difference. Is that possible already to feel this Good or is it in my head? I know I was missing something. Thanks, Secor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I understand it is wrong to NOT take multi vitamins the rest of our lives but what exactly are the consequences? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi , I take the following every day; 3 Centrum Performance Multivitamins 3 Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements (1000mg) 3 Hair Skin & Nails supplements from Walmart 3 GNC Ironchel 18 (Iron) supplements 1 Vitamin C (1000mg) 3 GNC Glucosamine supplements (500mg) 1 B12 supplement (1000mcg) plus Whey protein shake and Creatine for breakfast I don't take extra Calcium or Tums because my levels have always tested fine with the Calcium I get from my Centrum. I do take extra Iron because I get mildly anemic without the supplements. The manual explains why each of these items can be beneficial. I used to take Metamucil and still do occasionally for relief of constipation caused by the Iron supplements. I hope this is helpful. I am 15 months postop now and my Labs are great. (Just got my latest results back yesterday and everything is fine). I have them done every 3 months to ensure everything is going ok with the Iron especially. My Iron level is at the low end of the range, but that is normal for me. best regards, Markham Lee lovinglifesoon <KSecor@...> wrote: I was wondering if anyone would mind writting me to tell me which vitamins they are taking and how many MG and How often.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Ultimately ....death. I know that may sound melodramatic but vitamin and mineral deficiencies can be very serious business.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Malnutrition causes death. It effects everything from your hair to your toenails and everything in-between. Skin liver kidneys heart lungs blood nerves circulatory system-- everything. Nutrition is the fuel humans live on.
