Vitamin Schedule I find Helpful

Hi everyone, just thought I would post this little vitamin schedule I use. I'm sure most of you already know all this, but I can't believe how many times I run across profiles of people who take 2 flintstones vitamins and call it a day. AM: 2 iron (25 mg each) Ferrous FUMERATE, Carbonyl iron, or elemental iron Vit C (1000mg) ascorbic acid with rosehips mid-day: Calcium CITRATE (500mg) with Vit D and MAgnesium (250mg) Vit E (400IU E a-alpha tocopheryl sucinate) 1 multi-vitamin (equal to Centrum) evening: Calcium CITRATE (500mg) with Vit D and MAgnesium (250mg) Zinc (50mg zinc gluconate, chelated) 1 Vit A&D (10,000 IU Vit A & 400 IU Vit D3) bedtime: Calcium CITRATE (500mg) with Vit D and MAgnesium (250mg) 1 multi-vitamin (equal to Centrum) 1 sublingual B-12 daily (cobalamin concentrate) or monthly B-12 injection B Complex tabs daily, are also suggested, especially for energy. 100-145 grams of predigested whey protein (cold filtered).

My surgeon is not into B-12 injections unless you need them but every surgeon and Doctor is different. I plan on trying to get myself into my PCP and get blood work done up to see if I'm lacking in anything. I had to get my husband's health on track first. Donna 338/235 -103

My Weight Management group has me take 1 Optifast vitamin 4 times a day. My 3 month blood tests were all wonderful. I find it very easy to incorporate the vitamins into my daily routine. Monica

I have very hard time getting my vitamins in and havent had my blood checked yet so who knows where Im actually at. Probably not too good. I just never remember to take them I dont know why, always been that way with meds too. How do you remember all that? Jamie334/260

You have to keep in mind that it's your life your dealing with. Not taking your vitamins can lead to so many horrible health problems and could lead to death. I bought a weekly daily vitamin organizer. It has 4 compartments for the day. I fill it each week and take them as the days progress. If I miss any, I will stay up later in the evening to take the remaining vitamins. I have never been one to remember to take my meds before surgery either. I didn't take too many vitamins at first after my surgery. I admit I did not do enough research before my surgery probably because subconsciously I didn't want to read anything negative. Now that the surgery is said and done, I research the surgery daily and now I am fearful of not doing the right thing. I was healthy before the surgery and I would like to enjoy my new body along with that same health I had before. Liz

I was slacking off on my vitamines also while my husband was sick but I'm going to the doctor on May 9th and have my blood work done. Maybe you should do the same also? Donna 338/235 -103
