4yrs out RNY....

Hello all! I haven't been around the board for along time but I need some help! I am a successful bypass patient and lost 150lbs and have maintained and kept my weight at 120 for 3 yrs now! My problem is I need some help with my supplements! I haven't been a good girl and slacked on them and now pay the price! So any help on dosages and what I should be taking would help me a lot! Not to mention just support as I try to get a grip on all this again!

I take bariatric advantage chewable vits here is my schedule

am-1 multi vit and 1 calcium (500mg)

lunch-Iron 27mg and b12

afternoon-1 multivit and 1 calcium (500mg)

evening-1 calcium 500mg ---evening dose is the lemon calcet chewables

Welcome back!!

I am also 4 years out. Honestly, I love to eat, so I do not "allow" myself to eat until I have taken my supplements. This works for me.

This is what I take:

Breakfast- multivitamin, B12 (3 times a week), vitamin d, calcium

Lunch- vitamin d, calcium

Dinner- multivitamin, vitamin d, calcium

Bedtime: iron and vitamin c

I take Celebrate multi-vitamins (3 a day) Citracal (3 a day)and Iron (1 a day) and once a week a sublingual B12. My labs have been perfect and I am 4 months out.

I take Optisource, 2 chewables am.....2 chewables pm

"All in one" vitamins are not always the best choice for us RNYers as so eloquently summarized here:

Thank you for your responses! I made a trip to store and stocked up the vita supply! As well as some fruit, Greek yogurt and all my protein smoothie supplies!!! I have to start feeling as good as I should feel!!! Now to just get in the habit again!

Our needs are so individual based on labs.  If you have lab test that you can share here, it'll be much easier for others to make suggestions.

 

These are what I take:

 

AM - multi, Bcomplex, B6 (labs dictated), calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin A

Mid-morning:  calcium

Lunch: calcium

Mid-afternoon:  calcium, multi, potassium

Evenings:  iron and vitamin C (this is the one I'm most likely to miss)
