extremely tired PLEASE HELP vitamins?

I need help, I am all over the place with my vitamins feeling extremely tired to a point that cant keep my eyes open, runned test and doctor said I am low on vitamins D, B, iron, he said i'm anemic I can't figure out how to schedule my vitamins from ALL the medicines I take

Suggestions will help a lot!!!

THank you

It would help to know which surgery you had before we provide feedback.  The vitamin requirements are vastly different for RNY vs DS vs VSG.  

i had the same problem last year in June, I was hospitalized. I had to get a blood transfusion and Iron as well. I was put on heavy vitamins. My blood level was 6.1, I could of died the doctor said. I just thought i was tired, or didn't eat enough. I now take all my vitamins. i feel much better. Take it serious~ I had the RNY

I'm not sure what surgery you had, but I had RNY.  When I wake up I immediately take 2 calcium pills.  2 hours later, right before breakfast, I take a multi and a b-12.  Early afternoon, I take 2 calcium again.  Right before dinner, I take another multi.  Before bed I take my iron.  It works for me and has become routine, but you have to do what works for you.  My vitamins are located in a place in my house where I see them often so it's hard to forget.  I also have a double set of vitamins at work.

Thank you. I am using this as a guide, I had the RYN in 2008 and I been struggling 

Thanks again !

I had an RNY and have exceptionally good labs -- here is my schedule:

Morning: Celebrate multi, 500 calcium citrate, 5000 IU of dry D3, and 200 mg of magnesium citrate.

Mid-morning (at least 2 hours later):  500 mg of calcium citrate, B-50 complex or B12 (alternating days)

Lunch: Multi vitamin, 500 mg Vitamin E, 200 mg of Vitamin C

Mid afternoon: 500 mg of calcium citrate

Bedtime: 200 mg magnesium citrate, Iron fumerate 60 mg, 200 mg vitamin C

If you just want to know when to take them in connection with your other meds a good person to talk to is your pharmacist. Make sure you either take the actual medicine and vitamin bottles or a list of all you take to the pharmacist and see if they can help you work out a schedule where they won't interact with each other. They will know more than your doctor about all the meds and supplements. Good luck it can be quite a challenge sometimes getting everything in at the right time!

Your iron may be too low to be corrected with just by mouth replacement. If you're this tired and anemic you made need IV iron to get the level up Check with your doctor. It will make you feel so much better!

If you'll put your surgery type and date on your profile, it will show up each time you post. This info helps us help you.

AS someone else suggested, your pharmacist is a good person to discuss this with. Since you have an RNY, you'll need to be certain the D you're taking is a 'dry' formulation of D2, NOT the prescription, oil-based D2. You can absorb some of the B vites orally, but again, because you have an RNY, you really need your B12 as a sub-lingual or an injection. And your iron needs to be taken at least two hours away from your calcium. Calcium is a bully, and beats iron out for receptor sites every time. (*grin*)
