Supplements~What do you take everyday???? Plse share
Was wondering if everyone would share what they take everyday.
I was thinking it would help me to see if I am missing something that everyone else is taking.
Please share, looking forward to your opinions.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

When you list all those individual vits, are those an individual pill for each one (if it is that is fine)?
If I am thinking about trying to have a baby (next year) any additional supplements you recommend?
What about Fish oil?
Looking forward to hearing more, and thank you so much!

Which reminds me, I take folic separately, too. LOL
Basically, yes. Iron is more like 12 pills, but many of the others are 1 only. Calcium is tons and tons, because I'm fighting an uphill battle.
Some of them are according to labs, so adjusted to fit. But I didn't always take this many. It's been 15 yrs, and as we learn more, test more, see the results, adjust.
Even RNY don't absorb fats/oils to any reliable degree, so if I took fish oil, it'd be Coromega. Fish oil in a non-oil form. I'm off and on about that, cuz if I can't swallow it in a pill, I don't take it. I prefer B12 shots over sublinguals, for example.
I'm good with protein, vites. Perfect. Slacker on water and exercise. I diligently work on water.
If you wanted to talk to me more about teeny details, my email is [email protected]
But I'll post the list of labs I think we need and the levels *I* target for myself under a separate post, ok?

Thank you so much for this information. I can see, by what you are taking, I am missing somethings I need to take. Dr. only recommended some of them, but I know it is bare bones (his recommendation). Asked my ob (looking to start trying in March/April) and said I didnt need to add anything except Folic acid.
I am 40 and want to make sure I am on top of it way before we starting.
Thanks again for posting this information. I know it's things we should know (and I am sure you have posted this information MANY MANY times before) but we get far away from the beginning and we forget. I dont want to forget!
I will email you tomorrow, thank you,
