It seems there are so many opinions about what vitamins we are supposed to be taking.
Right now, I am taking:
Flintstones Chewables with Iron (2x per day)
Tums 800 (for calcium - 2x per day)
Ferrous Gluconate
I think I should be taking more and I think I'm going to venture out to the Vitamin Shoppe today. On my list is: Calcium Citrate Chewable Wafers and B-12 Sublingual.

Oops, I'm not taking Ferrous Gluconate, I'm taking Ferrous Sulfate.

I take two centrum w/iron (can't do the chewables, they make me barf), calcium citrate powder in my protein shakes - 500 mg, sublingual b complex two or three times a week, Coromega (essential fatty acids) two or three times per week (but it should be everyday). I haven't had any bloodwork yet, so I don't know if these are working.
I am taking Centrum adult chewables - orange flavored. Also taking coromega for the fatty acids daily. I take a liquid Ca/Mg (calcium/magnesium) supplement - can't remember who makes it but the doc highly recommended it (I am 1 week post op and the stairs will have to wait for me to check the bottle for now!). He won't let me take Tums for my Ca - they say it is not in a form that is readily absorbed (go figure). Also bought bariatric advantage sublingual b-12 but have not tried it yet - i hate cherry!!!

Nancy:
Flintstones chewables w/ Iron (2X per day) - What is it w/ Flintstones?
Tums Ultra (for calcium 2x per day)
Sublingual B12
Also on anti gallstone medicine and anti ulcer medicine (which is nasty,nasty, nasty)
In another 2 weeks to change to Calcium Citrate (but not sure if I am going to - been reading some things about it too) May just stick w/ Tums. Plus suppose to change to Centrum chewables.
