Vital!!!

Has everyone been taking their supplements???? Everyday?????No matter what??? And what type of calcium are you taking I've been taking carbonate and I should've been taking citrate Found some chelated calcium citrate mints right here @ obesity.coms store Be careful and healthful been reading the book "Before and After" great recipes and other tips....good read same author who runs the Bariatriceating.com website What is everyone taking @ 9 months out....Curious

Here's what I'm taking: GNC Women's Ultra Mega Multi-Vit; one serving size in the am and pm Citracal Calium Citrate (500mg+D); one serving size in mid-morning and mid-evening B-12 5000mcg sublingual; one serving every Friday Yes, you should be taking Citrate. Our new rearranged innards don't absorb carbonate very well. It also doesn't absorb B-12 very well, so taking a sublingual B-12 (or getting a monthly shot) helps our body absorb it like it should. I have read "Before and After" too. I haven't read it since before surgery. Maybe I should dust it off and read it again. I have a couple of WLS books, kinda thinking it wouldn't hurt to reread them all I guess. Welcome back to the board! Andi

I take two multi vitamins one morning one at night I take one Iron in the morning ( I was getting a little low) I take 8 Citracal Petites through out the day I take a b-12 3x /week because its 2000 mg

I take Bariatric Advantage multi vitamin (1 morning/1 night), Citracal Creamy Bites calcium chews (1 morning/1 night), and Nature's Bounty liquid B complex sublingual (in the morning only). I have been proud of myself because in the past few months I have been especially good about taking my vitamins. For the first 6 months I would be good most of the time, but sometimes I would forget my morning dose or my evening dose. I think I have finally gotten into a routine where I don't forget.

I have this pretty crystal coaster that I put all my vitamins on that I take at home. I take my multi and Iron before 6 am. Then at work I put the calcium out (8 pills). I take the calcium every two hours (8,10,12,2) I finish the ones at home I try and finish that before bed. It seems to help me to look at them on my counter of what I have left to take. I've been pretty good. I'll miss one here or there but most days I'm good.

HMM,,, Maybe I am overdoing it? I have a mass of pills I take daily - Here is my list 2 calcium citrate + Magnesuim 1000iu Vitamin D iron Vitamin C 2 flintstones chewables sublingual b-12 Acidophillus biotin and Famotadine
