Vitamins & Suppliments What are you taking?

Hi Eveyone! I am just curious a to what vitamins and suppliments eveyrone is talking? I am taking: 2 (1 am & 1 pm) Flinstones chewable vitamins 2 (1 am & 1 pm) creamy bites citracal citrate calcim 1500 mg biotin my B-12 shots from the clinic Nanc

I'm taking 2 (am/pm) Flintstones complete chewables 4 (am/pm) Calcium Citrate chewables from Vitamin Shoppe 1 (noon) creamy bit citracel citrate calcium (Walmart) 1 (am) 500 mg B12 sublingual (Walmart) What is biotin?

I take a packet in the am and one in the pm of what comes marked as Bari Pak, with an iron at noon. Which cost 30.00 a month supply, I think I would come out better if I changed to otc.

Let's see, I take: 2 (8am & 8pm) Flinstones chewable vitamins 2 (8am & 8pm) Actigal - to reduce gall stones 2 (8am & 8pm) Chewable calcium citrate bites (they are like a little treat to me) 1 (8am) Vitamin D 1 (8am) Vitamin B12 That's about all. I only have to do the Actigal for 6 months, I am happy about that, the less I have to take the better. Hope you are all having a great day. Thanks for posting this Nancy, you ROCK!! Jeanna

Hi everyone, Just so you are aware when I give my responses, my doc provides no aftercare info, except to take a multivitamin and B12 . He doesn't give diet recommendations either, and seeing a nut. pre or post-op is not required--although I think I will refer myself in September. He asks that my PCP monitor my bloodwork every three months in the first year. Anyways, I am taking: 1 multivitamin - store brand - not chewable (It is a horse pill, so I am rethinking whether I should go the Flintstones route). 1 oral B12 500mg I think. My doc says supplements are unnecessary, but I picked up some protein powder because I know I am not getting enough. Lori

Cindy are you able to provide me any info on your potassium? where you got them and how big they are? I am having real trouble keeping my potassium high enough and as a result I am getting insane palpitations. thanks in advance. Melissa

My potassium supps are prescribed by my PCP. I also had palpitation problems before sugery and was taking a beta blocker. My WLS had me stop the beta blocker after sugery and I wound up back in the hospital with tachycardia, dehydration, and low potassium. I was started back on the beta blocker and also a prescrition for these. They are huge horse pills. The ones I take are dissolvable. I dissolve them in a medicine cup and then drink them down. I'm hoping to get off of them eventually.
