Vitamin question??? kind of long...

Hello everyone! I have a question about vitamins. What kind do you recommend? I currently take Optisource by Walgreens I take 4 a day and it has everything in it. The problem is I am getting sick of the taste. It costs 25$ a month. Can anyone recommend one you swallow with everything in it? And so it doesn't hurt your stomach. I am not concerned about the price only if it is good and tolerable. I didn't mind the optisource, my labs are awesome! But the taste is starting to turn me off. I have lost 123 pounds I went from a 24 to a 12 and I feel awesome. I have been slacking in the excercsie dept. which upsets me because I was doing so good. I even ran the BIX (on the hottest day of this year) it is a 7 mile run. I have not lost much in the last 2 months and I seem like I don't care. I feel happy about my body and don't care what others think. But I know I should be working out and it makes me mad at myself that I am finding other things to do. We are currently adopting from Korea and we are matched with a BEAUTIFUL baby girl who should be home before x-mas. We named her Ella Eun Ju and she is A DOLLY! The adoption is taking my mental and physical emotions. I am very busy with my son also. If I stay this weight i am fine with it. HOWEVER I do not want to gain any pounds I have NO wiggle room. I want to lose 20 more but I understand if I can't. Thank you for listening WOW I feel better about talking about this. I have been gone for awhile and I know I need this support. Angel

Hello! First of All Congrats on the Adoption! I bet she is so beautiful! I know you cannot wait to get her home. We are about to start the next journey thru the foster care. Our Son was adopted here in the states thru a private agency.(I think you and I emailed before) We are also hoping for a little girl. Keep me posted on this. So on to your question. I (sad to say ) have only done Viactiv. And often forget. I take them 1-2 times a day. My surgeon makes our outlet smaller than most and does not recommend any tablets larger than an eraser head. I have not swallowed a pill since 3mo po. It was a biotin and it blocked me so I am doing my darndest not to take pills. Im not much help. As for exercising. Get back on it. If anything it would be a great stress reliver and give you something to focus on until Ella gets home. Take your son on walks and have that good quality time with him before Ella comes and gets all the attention! (lol) I thinks its awsome that you feel good about where you are at! I was just telling my dh that I seem to be more self concious(sp) now then when I was over weight. I seem to have more body image issues now then before. More insecure now than before how messed up is that! So tell me your secret. Again please keep me posted on Ellas arrival I know how excited you are!!!! p.s. Go for a walk! Leann 235/138/125

Hi Leann, We are so excited we just want our baby home! It is going to be the LOOONGEST 3 months. It is hard to stay focus on my activities because I think of Ella. I am getting into the swing of things again but it is difficult. On my body image.. I think for so long I was overweight I felt terrible and now since my weight is gone I feel awesome. I know I look better and feel better it just shows. I think everyone needs to come to the realization we will never be perfect (like a model) I am still rolly polly but I am happy. I was a size 24 now a 12. I wished for a 14 so I am very happy. I could have NOT done this without surgery i tried for years. Hope I helped. ANgel You ARE beautiful I hope you will see it!!!
