Vitamins ARE my meal :(
Do you all space your vitamins between mealtimes to get them all in? I'm currently following vitalady's suggested regimine until I get my first set of labs and can customize it to my own needs.
I'm 7 weeks out today.
I take mine with meals, but you can space them out between meals if you like.
If they are making you feel stuffed, you might want to try ENS from Celebrate, which is a drink mix that is a multi plus calcium citrate, or Upcal D, which is a powdered calcium citrate you can add to any drink. That would cut down on the pills.

If you use protein shakes, you can get the ENS with protein, too.

I'm going to check into the suggestions for alternatives. I'm also looking for a mag citrate alternative to what I have. I've seriously choked twice on water just trying to get these monsters down.
I also take iron/C in the AM - that's 8 tabs total. Switching them to night will probably help me at least get breakfast in.
Thanks a bunch!!!!
