I am 2 years post op and eating reasonably well. I am aware though that my diet is not that balanced, for example I don't eat as much fruit as I used to - apples stick in my throat. Also I am concerned about calcium intake, I know that my bone density is not great. I just wondered whether anybody had advise about vitamens etc,

I have almost forgotten what fruit is and veg is not well tolerated either so not eaten in great quantities to put it mildly! I take cod liver oil, B vitamins and Boots vitamin supplement for serious dieters, which seems to have everything in it.I have a blood test every 6 months to make sure the B12 is still being absorbed.

Early days yet. I do take cod liver oil to keep body moving but otherwise nothing. Calcium may be worth asking GP about. Apples are inclined to stick so I peel off the skin and cut up in very small pieces. A lot depends on each individual. Good luck.

I take a multi vitamin like Multibionta or a Boots version , a Berrocca or the Boots version of it, and a spoon of a liquid omega 3/6/9 oil. Some days I forget or run out but I do try to take them most days. I think the B vits and oil really do help to keep the brain fog at bay.
My op was 10 years ago so maybe they have helped.

It might be worth having a test for vitamin and mineral levels (sometimes the health food stores do them, but I think you can also have them done in the NHS).
If you take PPI medication for a long time (eg omeprazole; lansoprozole) there is an issue about your body absorbing calcium and a potential osteoporosis issue, so the bone density scan is indeed worth doing so that you medication to hopefully stop it getting too bad can be prescribed.
Diagnosis and what to expect
I suffer from having continous wind, I am belching constantly night and day. What causes this?
sorry going on again! could it be psychological?
Positive Posts needed!
