So confused about vitamins!!
I will probably be shunned upon for saying this but i do 4 optisource chewables a day. Yes i know i will hear it's not what the national bariatric surgery or whatever says for daily requirements but i am already on wayyy to many medications. I just chew 2 tables at a time 2x day. I've known people who's labs have come back perfectly using these vitamins or bariatric fusion however i just had my first labs on Friday post surgery so i reserve judgement on daily recommendations, et****il i hear how my labs are. My dietician actually told me bariatric fusion is fine. I also got permission for the optisource being okay.. i think they taste better.
I don't know why you would be shunned for saying that.
What you'll be told is that those do not meet the American Society of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery guidelines. I understand it's OK with your dietician if you take vitamins that do not meet those guidelines. And if that's OK with you, you have every right to take whatever you want. You also have the right to take no vitamins at all if you want. I just want people to be aware of what the ASMBS says we need so that they can make an informed choice about what to take. If you choose not to follow the ASMBS guidelines, that's your right.
