Vitamins

Well I know Ive needed to start on vitamins for quite some time, but just havent been motivated to do so. With everything feeling as though there falling in place for WLS. I need to start on some type of vitamins. Can you fine folks reccomend what kind of vitamin I need. Just a regular over the counter vitamin? What types of vitamins should I look for to be included in a Multi vitamin? Thanks, BT

I ALWAYS USED CENTRUM A-Z BEFORE WLS. THEN AFTER WLS I WAS TOLD TO TAKE FLINTSTONE CHEWABLES WITH IRON AND THEN I WAS PUT ON PRENATAL VITAMINS WHICH I AM NOW TAKING EVERYDAY. NEXT WEEK I HAVE TO HAVE BLOOD TESTS AND THEN ON THE 18TH I GO FOR MY 3 MONTH CHECKUP AT MMPC AND SEE HOW I AM DOING AND IF I NEED ANYTHING ELSE TO TAKE. HUGS JUDY

After my WLS, I was instructed to use: OPTISOURCE multivitamins @ Walgreens designed for Bariatric patients, 4 times a day, they are chewables and my labs have always been fine. They run 24.99 for 120 supply. Green label on white bottle in pharmacy. Stacey W

Stacey, Thanks for the information. I will keep those in mind for when I am post op. I guess in the mean time I will try Judys suggestion of Centrum A-Z.. Was Carey able to help you with those snacks you were looking for? I was thinking with her working at Barix, she would be more than happy to help. BT

Kurt Another oh.commer member found them on sale forme down where she lives and picked up 7 boxes for me and is shipping them to me. They are twice as much at Barix. (these were on sale at 2 something a box, they normally are 4 something) but thank you! Thanks Stacey

Elmo huh? I love Elmo! But does he have anything to do with "BT"? You realize I will not stop bugging you until I find out. I take Shaklee vitamins. I take a liquid multi w/ iron. I also take the Shaklee vit c, B complex, zinc and biotin and my calcium chews. I also take a subligual b-12 about 1 or 2x a week. Shaklee is not something you can buy in the stores. They are very good vitamins. No sugars, no preservatives - no junk in them. I know they are expensive though - but I only have one body so I try to take care of it. Take care, Carey

I get all the vitamins I need from the Ecstasy and vodka I consume at raves. Just kidding I take Country life adult chewable multis because they are chelated. kp

Hey Kev, If that's the case, can I get vitamins out of wine??? I'm not picky, I can do red or white. Carey

Lots of vitamin C I bet. kp
