Hi all - new here!
Can you share your advise and/or experience on nutritional supplements after the gastrectomy/stomach resection (full)? I have read some information on bariatrics and the need to suppletion and now I am wondering:
1) should I start taking multivitamins
2) which ones should I take, and why?
Thank you!

Hi. When it comes to such questions, I always recommend people have a conversation with their doctor. I’m actually a coach with more than 15 years of experience, so I know a lot about dieting, supplements, and other related stuff. But, I always insist on having a doctor’s consultation. They studied to help you actually. But I’ll answer your question because I’ve had the same issue. I was taking https://purerawz.co/ SARMs at that time, and it had no effect on my stomach. My doctor said I had nothing to worry about, so I kept on living my regular life. So, I’ll repeat it again: you should consider visiting your doctor. That’s how it works.
Hi, hope you’re well.
I had a total gastrectomy last August and like Jacqui I had Vitamin B12 shots every 12 weeks as I now can’t get that from my diet … and I know I need it because on or around about week 10 I’ll start to get a bit more tired / lethargic !
I take a multi vitamin each morning too and a Vitamin D supplement as well.
Hope it helps.
Hi *following* I too would like some info on what foods are best to eat especially post op chemo, anyone any ideas?
