Band of Distinction, Oklahoma City
Having the hardest time meeting goals...
I stay so busy that it's so hard to try and get vitamins, protien, and water in.
I've got the protien thing going ok. I'm short on water and it's always a struggle to get vitamins. I've always taken vitamins...ONCE a day. I don't know how to take them 3+ times a day.
Anyone have any suggestions on the fewest # of times you can take them a day and get it all in???

Are you doing chewable vitamins? I find they are the easiest. Also, if you had a watch that could beep when it is time to take them would help!
Just remember to take this one day at a time and don't get mad at yourself!

I am taking the chewables, but GAWD!. They're aweful! I'm taking the building blocks. That's 2 calcium chewables and 1 multivitamin chewable in the morning and at bed. My iron is a swallow at lunch. They were ok at first, but now I start gagging just as soon as I start chewing.
Unfortunately, I don't wear a watch (or any jewlery) during the day because of the nature of my work. *LOL* I'm always elbow deep in something...dishwater, poopy diaper, whatever mess the dogs have made. I hate to admit it but I don't even KNOW where my wedding rings are. They scratch the kids so I stopped wearing them. Now I'm not sure what "safe place" I've put them. DH just ordered me a new ring for our anniversary though to take their place and that is more practical. He doesn't know I know. *LOL*
Anyhow, I'm still going at it 3X a day trying to get my vitamins in. I bought 2 new water bottles yesterday. I just can't do the 32oz ones anymore. That and we don't buy bottles of water. We have a cooler and DH fills our bottles at the store. Less environmental impact and cheaper. Anyhow, they're 2 17oz bottles that you don't have to suck on. They work similar to coffee travel mugs only they snap closed really tight and have a clip on them for your purse strap or whatever. I'm really happy with them. I think they're just the right size. They also fit in my cup holders in the car. I spilled my hospital mug too many times.

I've got a couple of those bottles that snap closed like that. I really like them.
I used the Bariatric Advantage vitamins. Have you ever tried those? I really like the taste. The calcium comes in Cinnamon, Cherry and something else. Yum! Just like a treat! You can look at their stuff online at www.bariatricadvantage.com.

Nope, I haven't tried them. It's almost time for me to order my vitamins though and I'm not happy with orange creame or chocolate as my choices. I think I'll give them a shot. I also saw a cookbook on there I want.
Thanks!!!

Bariatric Advantage has awesome tasting stuff! I wish I had samples to send to you! I don't though.
