Not Taking Your Vitamins???
I snagged this from the Main Board. Please take your vitamins : http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/rny/3807188/vitamins-Do-I- really-have-to/
**Weight loss since June 08**
Excellent reminder!!!
Over the years, I have grazed, I've eaten some foods I shouldn't, drank some wine I shouldn't, and came up short on exercise. (Hence the 40 pounds that caught up with me over time.)
The 2 things I did NOT skimp on were water & supplements!
My husband came to those pre-surgical meetings with me and REALLY took away that my very life depended on taking those supplements FOREVER. Even when funds were tight, we found a way to buy those supplements. Ten years later, my (wonderful) Hubby still either peeps my pill container when he takes his vitamins, or asks me if I took them today.
It's NOT OPTIONAL. It's NO JOKE what can happen to a WLS patient without adequate water & supplements.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
OMG....i needed to read this. I can be honest with you guys, but I have never taken my vitamins the way I was suppose to. Last time I went to the Dr, he put me on over the counter B-12 and I think I have taken it maybe 5 times, my vitamin D has always been low, even prior to surgery and multi vitamin...dont take at all. After reading this I MUST do better. Getting up now to take my vitamins.
I have been lax with taking mine, I admit it. I get all caught up with not taking multi and calcium at the same time, not taking calcium too soon before or after drinking coffee, blah blah blah...and b vitamins, I don't wanna take b 12 sublingually I want to be able to take b complex pills blah blah blah...
I knew what I signed on for. I knew all of this and still did it. Soooo, no more excuses!
