Excellent point!

I think a lot of people forget once they get further out from surgery just how important keep up with your vitamins is. If you get enough protein in your diet, then there is no need to suppliment, but are you getting enough?? It's not a bad idea to log your food intake for a few days every 4 months or so, just to be sure your on track for fluid and proteins.

Vitamins though, Deborah is 100% right! This is not something we should
BLOW OFF! Getting supplimentation BACK on track after the fact is very, very difficult. Iron, Calcium, and B12 seem to be the ones that are the culprits if there is going to be a problem. Calcium is especially important to us women over 35!!!! As a bypasser we have a huge increase in the chances of getting osteoperosis than our un-bypassed sisters. Please girls, we did this FOR our health...let's not sabotage it before we even get to enjoy it!!

TAKE THOSE VITAMINS!!!!

(This is what happens when you have so many from the medical field - even us bloomers eigh Deborah, who are super gung ho on health and healthy living!)
