Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I saw my nutritionist this week and she told me my zinc level was a 77. The normal range is 70-150. I'm in normal range but close to the bottom, so I want to supplement. My nutritionist told me to take 220 mg zinc sulfate (elemental zinc) a day. Can anyone tell me if this is the best kind of zinc for post-ops? And she told me to take it with food, because it could irritate my pouch. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks for your help. Michele Open RNY 12/5/02 296/222/150 (lost 10% before surgery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
