Fess up!!!Vitamin call....

Have you taken your vitamins today????What do you take???How do you take it??? I take my thyroid med at 6:00 am Then when I get to work (8:00)I take a multivitamin(centrum silver chewable) Then at lunch I take a bariatric advantage cinnamon calcium(its chewable) Then at my 3:00 break I take another multivit. then on the way home at 5:00 I take my other calcium I take 2 B12 shots a month as I was vitamin B12 deficient before surgery(about 10yrs now)Hubby gave me my shot last night so hopefully my levels will be good when I have my blood work. I was told to take iron...but have always had problems with constipation so I have been very bad & have not taken this...I will be having blood work this week (Thursday) as I go for my 6 month check up on Nov. 9th...If its good I am not gonna worry about it, if its low I guess I will be in search of a good iron supp. So tell me How are you doing??? ~Missy~

I have taken my multi's today but not calcium. I am trying every kind of calcium they make. I tried the petite citracals and they made me constipated....I don't think they dissolved at all. I have two unused containers of the bariatric advantage cinnamin calcium losenges you mention but I don't like them. I bought a calcium citrate powder...a long time postop mentioned it on the grad board. You mix it with oj and it's the best so far. But I am not faithful with the calcium. Rachael

I usually am good on my vitamins like 75% of the time. SOmetimes I'll go weeks without missing one and then go days and not take one. I have been bad for a few days now but so far today I am getting them done! I take a B-12 sublingual every morning. Afternoon is a multi-vit (Centrum) and a calcium chewable. Evening I take 2 fiber tablets Bedtime is another calcium chewable Somewhere in the day I take a biotin. It's a capsule so I break it open and usually blend it into my protein drink (it's a powder).

I take my vitamins every day. in the AM its two flintstone completes along with my other meds and my biotin. in the Evening I take my calcium. According to my nut you should not take your calcium and vitamins at the same time. Something about the absorption.

I took two flintstones this morning need two more tonight. going to try the isopure smoothie now and pop a couple vits to finish off the day

Since I've ran out of my multivitamin.... I'm taking 2 Flinstones and 3 Calcium in the a.m. and 2 flintstones and an iron in the pm. My doctor's plan calls for the 3 calcium 2 times a day. But I just don't get it in. Plus I drink 8oz of milk EVERYDAY and sometimes more. All of labs have come back normal so far. I go back for my 6 month 11/30/06 so we'll see how I'm doing then. Oh yeah I got my first B12 shot on the 18th. Not sure i can tell a difference though. Mandy

I take vista vitiams every day 8 sprays, B12 shot I give to mysef every month and I am bad about calcium, but try and take it (the liquid)

I was only told to take 1 multi vitamin most days - not to worry if I missed days here and there. So I take a chewable one. Having read how much you all have been told to take, I think I'm gonna ask my family doctor if he will do a blood test to check my nutrients. It isn't a standard test done over here. Does anyone know what test name to ask for?
