New Photos uploaded AND what vitamin do you use??

Forgive me if I seem short in my responses... I am manning the board and also doing revisions to policies today! argh! I hate last minute deadlines. I will fully post a great lengthy thread later.  maybe. lol

Mel, not to worry - you aren't short in your responses.  I know what you mean about last minute changes and revisions.  Hang in there, your day will soon be over - it it's not already.  Looking forward to your post later.

Oh I cant remember a thing, Freddie!  I had to visit BE's site to see which one it is. Multi is Berry Calcium is Wild Cherry Iron is strawberry all Bariatric Advantage

Is it the berry flavor that you love so much?  I did find that there is one that is tropical flavor that has extra A,D,E and K vitamins.  I don't love the orange multi but everything else is fabulous!  I especially like the strong cinnamon calcium--reminds me of atomic fire ball candy.

Let me double check when I get home cause I could swear that something I take is tropical flavor! I don't like the mint, choc or cinnamon.  they were nasty to me. But I heard they have changed the formula

Tawny Baby...may I just say..."YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!"  What a beautiful lady you are!!!!  Look out world...she is too sexy!!!!

Great pics!

 

First let me say that the pictures are wonderful!!!  You look so happy and so does your family.  Keep up the good work!! I take the chewable multivitamin from GNC in the berry flavor.  I've also tried the bariatric advantage chewables.  They both taste good to me. Melissa

Like Tara, I have been on the Flintstones... and well, I think that there has to be a better choice....My routine is: Morning:  5ish Calcium with D either BA Cherry or a Citracal Thyroid Pepcid Biotin B-1 Mid Morning  9ish Calcium with D again either BA Cherry or a Citracal Lunch  12.30 ish Vitamin with Iron Late afternoon  4ish Calcium with D Bedtime  11ish 2nd Vitamin with Iron Foltrin Iron with B12 in it.   I have to take the Foltrin at night for the same reason you do Tara....it upset my pouch if I take it before I go to bed...  Thanks for the feedback on the photos too.  They were a lot of fun to take.  The lady took 130 of them.. and we narrowed it down to 20... lol  We really did laugh a lot. Photo Innovations in Cool Springs is where we had them taken Juanita... :-)  

First, I'll let you know that my labs have been perfect for the 2 years since my surgery. I have also had a bone density test each year and I have the bone density of a 20 something. The only ongoing issue I have is vitamin d levels.  That said, I use: Centrum Multi - in the beginning I used Centrum chewables for adults - 1 per day Biotin, 5mg - 1 per day Omega 3 - because I don't always eat fish 3 days per week - 3 per day for calcium - either TwinlLab Calcium Citrate Chewable wafers with magnesium & D - 4 per day or, Citrical Creamy Bites with D - 2 per day And, since I have had an issue with low Vit D since before surgery, I also take 1000 IU of additional D each day. Since I am post-menopausal, I don't take additional iron so I give myself a semi-monthly b-12 injection (1cc). My insurance covers the injection, they won't cover any oral version of b-12 FYI - RNY patients do not need the ADEK. Only DS patients need this vitamin combo. 

  Good Morning Ms. Tawnya,

    I just love love love the pictures..  Oh yea, did I tell you I love the pictures..LOL

  Your hair looks great,  I see you were able to get your appointment..  Or did you do it yourself?

  I have always taken the Citrical... They are humongous though and I have to 1/2 them in the chopper upper thing and then I 1/4 the 1/2 in the chopper thingy...  Time consuming and a little messy but I gag if I don't do that...  I may check into a chewable one...  I like what Freddie takes on the Cinnamon stuff..  I may have to see about that..  I love cinnamon...  The hotter the better...LOL

  I am on a prescribed Iron from my doctor..

  I take a fruity chewable multi vitamin...  I did love my Flintstones too...

  I also take a B-12 shot.  Kevin gives me this every 2 weeks..
