Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Lori, et al - This is true, but the much bigger danger is from not taking a good B COmplex capsule. The Bs are all water soluble, and are depleted fairly rapidly. They are also primarily absorbed in the duodenum, which we've had bypassed. We are all at risk for B vite deficiencies and several of them (B1 included) can causing disabling neurological damage. I experienced it, unrelated to WLS. A couple of local WLS gals have had damage, very early on. BUt it could happen at any time. Just because you don't drink does *not* mean that you are safe. Take a good B Complex cap (Stress B, or B100) to protect your brains, and nerves. Please. in WA wrote: everyone's different. i found that losing the weight was liberating, never a downer. & btw, my nutritionist states that alcohol robs us from B1. lori h.
