Vitamins

Can anyone tell me what their opinion is on the vitamins they feel is the best ones to take with taste and ease.  Thanks

 I have been very happy with Centrum Chewables and the GNC Calcium chews.

thanks I will get some of those

HI ......I am over 3 years out and just went to my doctor yesterday for my checkup.  I must say that being out 3 plus years, I still have problems with low protein, low calicum and really low vitamin D.  I take a high potency multi vitamin for people over 50 (which I am way over ;) ) plus Omega 3 capsule but I am still low on different vitamins.  I need to eat more protein.  Carbs go down way too well, and have to cut down on them.  Over the past 3 plus years, I have gained 8 lbs.  It's not much, but the pouch does get a bit bigger after a couple of years and I really have to watch it.....  I noticed that in my second year.  You can tolerate an awful lot of different kinds of foods now, then when you are out your first year. Just a cautionary note to all of you newbies.   

Also, in answer to anyone who wants to know about iburprofen (NSAIDS), is not really true. 
I have very bad knees and need two knee replacements.  Right now is not a good time for me to have them replaced and I have had more and more pain lately.  I have been taking iburoprofen now and then,  knowing that it may cause ulsers in the future but I didn't know what to do until I asked my doctor yesterday.  I can take Ibuprofen (no more than 4 a day as long as I take something like Zantac, Nexium, etc...in the morning that is time released.  I got a prescription for a generic one yesterday and doc said I can take it first before I take the NSAIDS.  This will prevent ulsers. 

Hey where are all of the oldies.........lets hear from you....how are you all doing that had surgery 3 or more years ago.......please post.

thanks Carol B

gaining 8 pounds in three years is not bad at all.  I have seen some gain alot of weight back.  I can see that getting in the protein is hard.  I am not a big breakfast eater so I will try to do my protein shakes every morning as a routine once I am a regular food.  There seems to be more and more liquid vitamins coming out in the market.  I think Im going to try those first.  I know what you mean about pain in the knees.  Have you gone on You Tube.  There is alot of surgery Oldies there.

Thanks Joan

thanks for the input on you tube.

GNC has a women's vitamin that you can get in powder form (vanilla flavored).  You can mix that in with your protein shake for the morning meal.  It does have calories though, so you'll want to use it in conjunction with your meal replacement protein drink. 

I also have used the Flintstone chewables, they aren't too bad.

Good luck.
