Does everyone take vitamins?
I haven't taken any vitamins and I am not known to ever in my life. I am just wondering if any one out there does not take any vitamins too. And if you have not taken any vitamins and once you started, have you notice any difference.
Which vitamins do you take?

I ran out of vitamins last month and decided NOT to take them for a few weeks. I mean, I was feeling great so who cares, right? WRONG!!! My hair started falling out in clumps!!! I have since started taking them again and noticed a huge diffence already. Good Luck!

Hiya,
I dont take vitamins in tablet form but do drink multivitamin juice. Goes down easily & no heartburn.
I have been banded 11 months now & lost 56 pounds & went through a stage where my hair & skin were crappy. I did try the evervescent vitamin C that my surgeon gave me but it just made me gag.
Sounds crude but the juice serves its purpose in more ways than one as since banded I cannot digest fruit.
Good luck with your ckoice
Paula

My surgeon recommended that I take a multivitamin. Even if not banded, I believe that is a good idea. I know many people on here take Flintstone's chewables. I take the viactive chewable vitamins.

I always took vitamins pre-band and I take liquid vitamins(Vital Earth) and liquid calcium now. Sometimes I take Viactiv calcium for a choclate fix! I also take liquid iron at my doctor's request. I never had an iron pproblem pre-band, but I guess I can't eat enough now to keep my levels up. I never had hair loss after surgery and I think the vitamins were a factor in that.

I take centrum chewable vitamins. I cannot eat enough to get a balanced diet with the band (all the servings of fruits and vegetables, etc.).
