What Vitamins do you take?
This came up at our last support group meeting and I thought it was interesting, so I'm wondering what vitamins you all take?
Here's my list:
three omega 3 supplements
B Complex
Vit E
Multivitamin
Vit D - 1000 IU
and I plan to add in calcium when I can get to Costco & get some Calcium Citrate...
I also take a daily stool softener (tmi, I know! lol) and the ursidol prescribed for prevention of gall stones after wls.
The only ones suggested by the wls clinic were the multivitamin, the vitamin D and the ursidol...
What has everyone else been doing & does anyone have a chewable calcium they can recommend? Since I had surgery I can't easily swallow pills like I used to!

Just at the moment, I am taking a Jaimeson multi, the ursidol, vit D chewable and my happy pill (pre surgery script). That is more than enough for me just now ... I will likely add an omeg/fish oil at some point in the near future.
I won't have the results of my first bloodwork post surgery until next week some time ... so not really sure if I am lacking anything.
Sorry I missed the meeting ... my youngest was still getting over the flu and incredibly clingy. I do wish I could have gone, though.

I only take a Women's 1-A-Day Multi-vitamin, but I'm in a different phase. I'm a gazillion years out and I eat a larger variety of nutrients now. I only ever took the multi-vitamin, back in my day, that's all the Dr. recommended. I tell ya, I lost a pile of hair and calcium though--effected my teeth and fingernails pretty bad for the first 5 years and I used to clog the shower drain with my hair every week.
I'm much more nutritionally balanced now.
