Vitamin / Mineral Deficiency
Oct 03, 2008
First of all, I had my Lap RNY in March of 08. I started 6 months with a Nutritionist in August 07 and Lost 60 pounds prior to surgery. My highest weight was 360. I was 300 in March, at surgery. After surgery, when I came home I was 312 (swelling and such). I lost consistently though I did go through some plateaus. I am as of today, 202 pounds.
I did not take my vitamins and I am in the hospital for vitamin deficiency. Im not alone in not taking the vitamins like I should but I never realized what could happen. I have paralysis in my legs and tingling in my fingers. I can not bear weight. I am in physical therapy daily and working hard to overcome this and relearn to walk but it is a slow process.
My potassium has stayed low, my vitamin levels appear to be ok but now they are going to test for minerals. I have documented my whole story on www.myspace.com/lovehealshurts and I am glad to share it. Please take your vitamins, it is so very important!
