Good Morning. A matter of trust
Back in 2002 when I had my first WLS there was even less known. I had a DS and I was sent home with the instructions to take a multivit and between 1500 to 2000mg of Calcium Citrate. I don't remember if they recommended ADEKs or I read it somewhere on a board. There was no Vitalady plan.
I was pretty screwed from the beginning with that but even more so when I let up on the amount of Calcium Citrate and ADEKs I was taking.
I would still be srewed if I listened to their advice which now is to take 2 multivitamins and same Calcium CItrate as before and B12. I can't remember if they told us anything else since I don't pay attention to what they advice. My NP said to take Flintstones so I stopped listening to her.
I just sent a request to order my labs for my 1 year visit next year. I used the list from Vitalady. I hope she doesn't give me any problems with it.
My plan, like last time, is to watch any trends and make adjustments from there. My labs were pretty good last time so I am hoping things are good this time, too.

Thanks Dakota....will send you a facebook friend request and yell that i am from the lightweights boards.
I also appreciate that the group is closed as my immediate family members are aware I had surgery but not my long lost HS best friend, if you know what I mean. :)

p.s. i also feel that our world has not figured out that there are so many contributing factors to obesity......metabolic issues, addiction, seritonin, misuse/abuse of food, trauma, genetics, etc. It is the easiest thing we have access to when young.....I was shocked when the psych eval psychologist told me that my body was fighting against me and that every time I lost 30 pounds my body thought it was starving. I was like, you mean this isnt all my fault??!! I knew this but to hear someone else say it helped me confirm that it was time for weight loss surgery.
