Okay, so I should probably know this, and I might have but have forgotten but ... do your pills have to crushed, chewed or liquid for the rest of your life or can we start taking regular vitamin, calcuim and B-12 pills after 3 months? I forgot to ask my doctor this, so if you guys dont have an answer ... I'll probably have to call him!!

I WAS TOLD WE COULD TAKE PILLS FOR VITAMINS AND CALCIUM CITRATE AT 3 MO AND B12-ALWAYS HAS TO BE TAKEN EITHER SUBLINGILLY OR INJECTION, ITS NOT ABSORBED IN OUR POUCHES AS PILLS CHERYL

I was told (lol) that after 1 month we could take any pill except huge horse pills. I take a vitamin pack, 3 chew calcium, 4 multi vitamins, a sl b12 and an iron pill. My doctor sells them 2 months supply for $43, not bad actually ;)

I take chewable vitamins, chewable calcium... When I ran out I took a Centrum- and owe boy I paid for it... It is big. My others meds are taken whole. I agree with IRon being shots or sublingal because of non absorption... Hope it helps.. ps I did take tylenol at that time of the month... still have liquid loritab when necessary...

Yep Kimmy And geesh none of them even give me a buzz isn't it a shame. I spend a good 13 mins in the morning swallowing the darn things and what do I get out of it. Hmmm.... still got the hair loss and the high cholesterol (sp?) so nicks the Biotin and Fish Oil . The B's Im stuck with cause of the malabsorbtion thing but hey we pee those out anyway. Have to take that multi or we will turn into a multi something or other. The Actigal is a preventative for gal bladder disease...ok will stick that one only have to take it till Jan. Have to take the frigin thryroid med only have 1 thryroid gland but you think that might help me lose weight faster (of course not) So what other stuff is left OHHH who the heck cares. Now you know my morning routine -- and still not a buzz yet Pam
