Vitamins, what kind are you all taking?????

Hi Everyone can you please share with me what kind of vitamins you all are taking, besides the B-12 Thanks in Advance Hope everyone is doing well, and starting to feel better. and lets all keep Rob in our hearts and prayers! Mary

Hi Mary! I'm just taking a multi-vitamin + iron (CVS Brand). It's a really small pill (no bigger than an aspirin), so it's easy to take. I don't take any B-12 supplements....should I be? Hope you are doing well! -Wendy

Hi Wendy, I know every Doc is different but this is one thing I'm sure we all need, I was given the first B-12 in the hospital before dicharge 3-26-04 and then another in the doc's office on 4-22-04 and when I return on June 22nd he gives everyone a scrit for B-12 to be injected at home one time a month for the rest of our lives I believe, so if I was you I would certainly ask your doc about this ok! hugz Mary

Hi Mary I'm still doing flintstones complete, 3 tums, 1 B12 sublingal, and 50 mg zinc. I have been cleared to stop the chewables!! I can take regular vitamins now!! Yea!! So when I finish these up I will start regular multi's, calcium citrate, and of course my b12 and zinc. kym 03/25/04 -47

Hi Kim sounds like you got it all together , stay healthy ok! I was just wondering the zink your taking is that a rx? or are you taking it on your own? drop me a line and let me know ok, should I also be taking it? or is it covered in my mulit- vitamin...hugz Mary

Hi Mary. I take the children's chewable + iron twice a day. I take calcium chews twice a day, and my B12 sublingual once a week, on Sunday. Best, Maureen

Hi Reenie, I am so happy to be off thoes childrens chewables, I hated them after one month and I was so tired from fighting my lil one for the purple ones... I am taking a one a day, and 3 tums daily, a viactive chew when the mood stikes me, and I'm feeling great! Hope all is well with you! Hugz Mary

I dont know what everyone has heard about calcium but i went to a meeting this past weekend and they said that tums was not a good choice. it was said that calcium citrate is what we can absorb after surgery. the tums and other calcium just dont absorb for us because it needs acid and we dont produce enough. I myself take b12 sub. daily and calcium citrate as well as a chewable from centrum.

Hi La Rhonda, sounds like your doing very well also with the vitamins, Just checking to make sure everyone is pretty much taking the same things, I have also herd this from others about the calcium but I am drinking all the calcium I need on a daily basis , I drink Fat free mIlk 3 x a day 4-6oz stay well! God Bless Mary

I take a multi vitamin in the morning and at night. 2 Calcium caltrate 3-times a day Iron 2-times a day and B-12 on M,W,F. I get my vitamins through bariatricsadvantage.com they are chewable and come in flavors. Leslie
