I’m home finally…You know it’s not going to be a good office visit when first you see the Lab technician and she goes you have lost weight and then I see my Doctor and he says I look puny…Ok people I get it, I look horrible but I’m coming to visit a Doctor’s office cause I’m sick…Where does it say that I have to make myself up…LOL..
The nurse called me in today since I have been having some complications from Vitamin D and wanted to check my Potassium and Magnesium levels…The good news is that they are fine, nothing to low…Which is good for me and I don’t have to add another thing to take…But the bad news is that they are having me come back in after the holidays to check my bone density levels…Why you might ask…Well my left shoulder keeps coming in and out and they are afraid that I’m losing bone mass…Which wouldn’t surprise me any…
Now you might say that I’m doing something wrong and that is so not the case…My body can’t take large dosages of Vitamins…And that’s why I have questions about all of these recommendations for Gastric Bypass patients cause everyone is different…What might work for one might not the other…When I asked him if I am losing bone mass what needs to be done and he said to do Reclast but then forgot that I have trouble with my veins… That is the problem I asked someone for a solution and no one knows what to do…
So sorry, hun, for everything you are going thru. Im praying for you and your help, and I hope that u start feeling better!

What happens if you try to take higher doses of vitamins? Throwing up?
Hello,
I’m having alot of issues with Vitamin D…It’s not like my body is at a high number either…Right now I’m taking a Bariatric recommend product from a well known company that is Liquid D3 of 10,000 IU and I started taking this about a month ago to get my levels higher…Cause I was taking once a week prescription Vitamin D for about 2 yrs and my level is only at 34…So we stopped that and decided to go another route…Well when I started taking this amount I started having Constipation, Nausea, Leg Cramps, fuzzy mind etc…And my body can’t process that high of a dosage daily…Not only was I taking that but I take a liquid vitamin that has D3 in it…I can’t break things down and so I need to take it slowly…
Now with the other vitamins, they don’t absorb well unless it’s through an IV treatment…We are not sure anymore…I really should list everything that I have tried…
