I had to stop my vitamins for the last two weeks because I am having surgery this wed. (my tonsils are coming out, they are straightening my septum, and roto-routering my sinuses). When I do take vitamins I take a womens formula multi-v, I try to eat two calcium chews/4 tums a day,I have started to use flaz seed oil in my food/fish oil pills (for the omega 3 & 6 b/c I really hate fish!), and I take a liquid B-12 when I remember!! I have no trouble swallowing pills. My guess would be to call your Dr and see what he thinks. sarah

I live 250 miles south of San Francisco and 250 miles north of Los Angeles...in California's central valley. Gas here is $2.49. The lowest I've seen is $2.43 and the most is $2.57. Terrible huh? Paula

I am starting a new support group in Phoenix, AZ serving the metro Phoenix area in June. Location is still be acquired, but I should have that finalized within the next week. This is an Obesity Help chapter. Each meeting you will learn something new about pre-op or post-op process, tips and tricks, recipes, exercises, dealing with unsupportive people, living with WLS and so much more!! If you live in the Phoenix Metro area or ever visit this area, you are welcome to attend!! Online support is great, but face-to-face support is even better!! "Those who attend support meetings and support gatherings will have a higher success rate in their WLS experience" ------ Colleen Cook, WLS author. No matter how far out you are, what stage you are at now (gaining/losing), etc. you should come!! ALL are welcome! Go to website below for more information or to join the online support group!!

Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing well. Well, we are around 15 months out, and I was wondering what vitamins everyone is taking now? I have been on Flinstones and Tums since my surgery, but was wondering if I can possibly change to other kinds. I would love to hear from ya! Take care, Rhonda Carter -102 lbs

Hey, Deb. Milk here at Walmart Neighborhood is 2.79 a gallon. You're so right about how they price gas. Makes no sense to me. There's probably some crazy explanation that goes back to when gas was first being sold.
