Welcome to me!

Hi Becky! Congrats and welcome!  :::throwing multi colored vitamin confetti at you:::: Well, they did  that to me too and I'm now taking mine faithfully again. Why risk it? They are all right!  I "eat" all my vits and supps.  I can't swallow pills either. I even have liquids of some things just to alternate when i get sick of the flavors!  I feel really good, once my body got over the constipation of them!  Now things are smooth going and it's not that big a deal once you get in the routine.  Now all I need is my labs next week!  (first time in a few years! ) So you can imagine the hand smacks I got! LOL  They truly mean well and care!  We all do!   "Just because you can't see it in the dark....doesn't mean it won't hurt you in the daylight" Just a little deep thought there... Hugs Anita

Welcome to the grads board!  I love it here!  There are not nearly as many posts/posters, but I love how almost all the topics are relevant to me.  It's great to know that everyone here has "been there, done that" regarding virutally every aspect of this journey!  No "high drama," just good support and friends helping friends through the long-term issues.  And . . . occasionally . . . when someone needs it, a helpful "butt-kickin'"!    But no nastiness--ever!  I love that.  I get so much help both from those who are very sucessful maintainers and those, like me, who are struggling with some re-gain--and all kinds of people in between!  Many here are still reaching for that elusive goal weight!! I hate to swallow pills too.  I take a liquid calcium citrate, chewable Centrums for my main vit., and the subl. B12.  I do keep a little baggie of the Petite Calcium Citrate pills in my purse just cause they're obviously more portable than the liquid, but I hate to take them.  They are NOT my idea of "petite" pills! Superlative job getting below goal!!
