RNY on 11/04/08

I had RNY.

Breakfast - multi, 500 mg calcium citrate, 50,000 IU D3 (three times a week), 25,000 IU vitamin A (three times a week), 50 mg zinc (twice a week)

Lunch - 500 mg calcium citrate

Dinner - multi, 500 mg calcium citrate

Bedtime - 300 mg iron (carbonyl iron), 2000 mg vitamin C

Every other Friday - B12 shot (1000 mcg subcutaneous)

The multi and calcium I take according to the ASMBS recommendations. The ASMBS also recommends B12 and iron, but I take more than they recommend because my labs show I need more. I take C with the iron to improve absorption. The D3, A and zinc I take because my labs showed I needed more of those than I was getting from my multi.

I had the DS. I take, at breakfast, a multi, 600 mg of calcium citrate, 50K of D3 and 25K of A. At lunch I take 600 mg of calcium, and the same at dinner. At bedtime, I take another 600 mg of calcium and another multi. That's all, folks! (*grin*)

Lap Band on 04/23/06

In the morning, one mulit vitamin with minerals. This is all banded people are recommended in the UK as we do not malabsorb anything. . I used to take calcium but then did the sums and found out I get plenty in my normal diet.

Blood tests show I am fine.

Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
