I know lots of people hope to come off a lot of meds after losing weight, but then we have to take so many vitamins a day, at least I am taking a ton of pills.  Add the vitamins to my depression meds, and It's a LOT of pills.  I just finished taking my evening pills and my afternoon ones at the same time because I forgot them this afternoon for some reason, so now I'm curious.  How many pills a day do you take?

My answer: 19 - 20, depending on the day of the week!  Some vites I don't take every day.  And I use chewable calcium or Upcal D, otherwise I'd be taking six more!  And this is also not counting my MIrilax, which is a powder.  Ugh.

So how many pills does that make?  Are you vitamins pills or liquids?

 Is that Depo Provera? That stops your period. I'm considering RNY and can't imagine being off the shot.
