Topic: RE: My labs are terrible for anemia, no vitamin A or Vitamin D, low B 12 low iron I need help
Can you suggest where to purchase the dry vitamins. I was really non-compliant for years on my vitamins and have been doing iron infusions because my ferritin is now for 4 years, I take 10,000 units vitamin d capsule, and a potassium pill. But my calcium is low, and I think my A. I always have high vitamin b, that's never been low but too high. I used ADEK for years but all my labs still were coming out deficient so I stopped, not a good decision. Thanks!!!

Thanks, Sarah                 HW: 325 SW: 311  -  DS Surgery 10/15/08

The bariatric multi are not what you need. You need separate A D E K. I take 100k D and 125k A daily. Your multi won't get close to helping you raise your levels. A regular centrum type multi is a base level, then add the dry versions of other vitamins. Biotech is a big name for those. 50,000 unit D and 25,000 unit A and with your levels I'd suggest starting with numerous of each daily.

Topic: RE: Hunger

Yes, extremely normal, however for me drinking at least 50 grams of protein curve all if that....I do not eat carbs before 10 am, if early it causes me to want to eat. First I make sure my body releases in the morning, and drink my protein in the morning with my mornings vitamins and supplements, no carbs so early in the morning it set my day right.

I'm about 18 months post surgery and lately I feel like I want to eat ALL THE TIME. Is that normal? Is this how things will be now or is it more cyclical?

It's an easier recovery, usually.

Topic: Robot assisted DS

Hi everyone - Just saw my surgeon who wants to do my DS mid-June. She'll be using a robot. Has anyone had this done? I've recovered from a VSG previously and am curious as to how my recovery from a DS will be different, robot assisted or not. Thanks in advance!
