Vitamin questions....

[sarrah345]

Hi Pat,

I was recommended to vist a site called Vitalady.com.

It is a site run by a couple that have both gone through gastric bypass surgery.

They sell protein powders, vitamins, syrups, other odds and ends that one might need or might like to have after surgery. They also have a lot of information on this site.

There are vitamins/supplements that they recommend after surgery, and it piqued my interest, but I don't want to go against "the rules" set by you and Dr. Allam.

Let me share with you, what they recommend:


Aside from a "good multivitamin:"

Iron - (not ferrous sulfate)
Vitamin C
1500 mg elemental calcium citrate
A (dry form)
D (dry form)
E (dry form)
zinc, 50 mg, chelated
B12 (sublingual)
Maybe potassium or magnesium, based on the first set of labs

Pat, that is exactly as written on the web site. No mg for Vitamin C, or for Iron for that matter.

I'd like your opinion.....as I want to be as informed as possible.

Thanks,

Cathy Monsell
