What is your vitamin regiment?

I liked Cabin111's milk question, so I thought I would continue that line with a question about everyone's vitamin and supplement regimen each day.  Mine is:

Morming - 2500mg B-12, 500mg Vit. C, 3 Celebrate gelcap multi-vitamins, B-50 gelcap, 325mg Ferrou Sulfate, 325 mg Ferrous gluconate, and 87mg asprin

midmorning - 3 Citrical Petites (600mg), and 4000 IU Dry D3

Mid Afternoon - 3 Citrical Petites (600mg), and 4000 IU Dry D3

Night - 500mg Vit. C, B-50 gelcap, 325mg Ferrou Sulfate, 325 mg Ferrous gluconate, and 2 grams L-arginine and L-orthinine.

That's what I swallow each day, how does you regimen look?

Morning - 1 multi-vit, 1-630mg calcium/400 IU D3500mg, 500mg Vit C

Lunch - 1-630mg calcium/400 IU, Vit D-400IU

Evening - 1-630mg calcium/400 IU, 1 multi-vit,   324 mg iron at bedtime

B-12 shot on the 15th each month

first thing in the morning, 3 vitalady gentle irons with 1000 mg of C

an hour later: multi, 25,000 IU dry A, Super B complex, 100 mg of zinc, Selinium, 400 IUs of dry E

an hour later 633 mg calcium 50,000 IUs of dry D

sometime during the day: 2 more doses of calcium

Night: multi, 25,000 IUs of vit A

Before bed dose of calcium plus 50,000 IUs of dry D, plus 1000 mg of magnesium oxide.

Morning - 1000mg B-12, 2 Citrical Petites with Vitamin D (400 mg plus 500 IU of "D"****ntrum Silver multivitamin - also still have scrips for a famotidine (pepcid) and ursidiol (gall stone preventative) that end at six months - am using up some Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium tabs in place of Citrical (400 mg calcium citrate plus 100 IU of "D")

Lunch - 27mg Iron (ferrous gluconate) with a 500mg vitamin C  (may be taken a couple hours after dinner if I forgot to take them at lunch)

Dinner - 2 Citrical Petites with Vitamin D (400 mg plus 500 IU of "D")

Evening - 2 Bariatric Advantage chewable Calcium Citrate (chocolate or lemon, depending on my mood for a flavor treat - 500 mg plus 250 IU of "D")

Blood work being drawn at six months in mid-November and adjustments may be made.

My surgeon is recomending after surgey:
milti vit with iron daily
B12 weekly
Calcium with D 3 times a day.

Are yall taking what your doc suggested as he normally recomends, or has he upped yalls dosages based on blood work? Just wondering if my doc is under shooting all the vitiamins.

well your doctors regime is insufficient. You'll be deficient and losing bone mass within a year.

You need an iron suppliment separate from a multi
then you need a multi, a b complex that has at least 100 mg of B1
a Daily sublingual b12
and at least 2000 mg of calcium with some extra Dry D.

Go to vitalady.com and get her basic list for RNYers you'll do yourself a favor and save yourself some time of fixing your labs.
