I'm ready for my vitamins! How cute is this...
So the whole taking vitamins for the rest of my life thing is my least favorite aspect of my upcoming surgery, but I know that it is something that I will have to do to remain healthy. So... me and my mom were shopping and I HAD to have this. I bought it off of ebay instead of for $40 like it was in the store, for only $10!
Some may call it unnessesary, or too much, but I am a purse fiend and this is just right up my alley
I will enjoy taking out my little vitamin coach purse. Plus I have 2 purses already that match!
I can't wait to use it!

Some tips...
For those who say WLS is the easy way out let's consider this: The decision to undergo WLS means that we will need to take vitamins and supplements several times a day for the rest of our lives.
You can blow it off, but it will catch up with you in the long run! Ask me about my osteopenia....So here's a handy tip.
At first I used cheap-o pill cases from Walgreen's to organize my pills. I found one wasn't enough so I started using two. It kept me organized.
There were definitely some pros:
- I only had to divvy up all the pills once a week.
- I could see if I missed a dose.
The drawbacks though:
- It was hard to fit the giant multi-vitamins and calcium pills in the little compartments.
- The containers weren't child-proof so I was always worried about keeping them out of reach of my little ones.
My solution: I started using empty pill bottles.
I marked them - Monday AM, Monday PM, etc...
I just asked my pharmacist and he gave me ten free ones, but y0u could rinse out and reuse them.
Besides being easier to load, and child-proof, they're also more convenient to take with me when I'm on the go...Let's say I'm going on an overnight trip: all I have to do is grab the bottles I need. Some people take their pills mid-day while away from home: with this method you can easily just toss the one's you need in your lunch-bag or purse!
Simple. Practical. Cheap....that's how I roll!
