how stupid am i...

i had my rny surgery on 9/8/08 - after i got home i was informed to start taking my vitamins, one of course being a multi vit. well i just so happened to be filling up my vitamin holder when i looked on the back of my multi bottle. I'M SUPPOSSED TO BE TAKING 4 A DAY!!!!!!! I'VE ONLY BEEN TAKING ONE!!!!!!!!! maybe that's why i've been so fatigued! i'm so pissed at myself that i wasn't smart enough to look at the back of the bottle as soon as i got the damn thing. so this morning here i am now taking 4 of them. that's a pain in the ass, as soon as this bottle is done i'm getting a new type that hopefully only has to be taken once a day. i take my calcium, my multi, my liquid b12, then my med for my gallbladder for 6 months and my anti acid for 6 months, i believe that one is for 6 months but i could be wrong. any advice for a good multi vitamin? i was thinking about getting the bariatric vitamins from bariatriceating.com...but do you think that really makes a difference?

thanks!

I just get the Centrum once a day multi vitamins, they're big but i get the chewable one and you only have to take one!

My surgeon's office pushes vitamins from Bariatric Advantage. I was taking the Tropical multi-vitamin for the first 3 months after my surgery and when i refilled this month I switched to the Berry multi-vitamin and it's so much better. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. Here's their website:
www.bariatricadvantage.com

Bariatric Advantage specifically makes their vits for post-WLS patients... if you look at whats in them versus whats in something OTC there is a difference - also they keep up with latest research/developments and make changes accordingly... to me its worth the additional expense/time because this surgery is for life and you want to stay as healthy as possible.

You're not stupid! Don't make me yell at you...My doctor suggests the Baratric Advantage....its really not that bad....$40 for 2 months and they're chewable and basically all you need and come in all different kinds of yummy flavors....MUAH!

hey, you are not stupid i did the same thing with my calcium for a about 3 months you are gonna be fine just make sure you are taking your vits right this time.
hugs.
