    Stopped all my vitamins because I'm an idiot lol

    We have all probably been guilty of not watching or protein and vitamin intake it's been 21 years for me and I didn't realize how badly I was taking care of myself until I recently went to a nutritionist.

    Vitamin question very confused...

    If I were you I would not stock up on vitamins because some are more tolerable than others it would be a shame to stock up on vitamins that you can take. Tablets are not the best choice because you're having a bypass you can actually half a tablet without it ever being absorbed. Your best bet is...

    Vitamins?

    I am getting mine from Emerson Labs, on line. I am getting straight up amino acids, it's protein already broken down, and it is only 2 teaspoons in a scoop. It virtually has no taste at all and therefore I don't get so filled up on whey which was making me sick.

    Vitamins?

    you can buy vitamins that are in capsules and open them up and put them into a shake. Like the person said just up above, you have to take them, but you shouldn't have to grind them up. There are options, like what I said, or get liquid. If I were you, I would see a nutritionist that specializes...
