I Forgot - I Think .. Now What Do I Do?



Recommended Posts

I can't remember if I took my multi vit this morning. Do I take it anyway or just wait until tomorrow?

Would there be effects of missing a day? What do you think?

You can take one now. Wouldn't hurt anything. Extra Vitamins just get peed out. :)

I LOVE this postand dont know why! i am an emotional basketcase right now and trying to get through the 1st week post-op without freaking out. I look forward to worrying about missing my Vitamins :-) Right now i am just hoping that the next flavor I try of Isopure is better than the orange flavor I am drinking right now.

I use to worry about having to take my Vitamin, I was afraid they wouldn't fit in my tummy. You can take and extra today or you can wait until tomorrow. No harm no foul. :)

Have you tried putting a paket of splenda in it - I did because it was the only way I could get it down.

On the other note:

give yourself time, it's only been a week. You'll get thru it. If you can drink milk, try muscle milk lite - chocolate, vanilla, strawberry flavors, not sure of other flavors. Or you could try whey Protein isolate, it comes in a few more flavors than just choco,van, strawberry.< /p>

I know you've taken it already, but if it happens again I would just wait until the next day. Some of the Vitamins are Water soluble, like B12, but some are not, they are fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins will be excreted from your body if you take too much, fat soluble aren't. Fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K can build up in your body and it's possible to overdose on them. It's just one Multivitamin so you'll be fine, but just for the future/if you're curious: http://www.medicinen...rticlekey=10736

Thanks Izuri that's helpful to know.

My whole life I always got sick from multi's. I always thought my body produced too much of something- and trust me I experiment w/food, without it, times of day, etc.. I think it might be "E"-- I would get a headache and VERY nauseous.

My PA approved the CVS children's chewable after reading all the ingredients and it seems to be the only one I can take. (plus I take Calcium, B12 and D)

How do you live without those plastic containers that have the days of the week on them? Every morning I take them out of the day we are in and put them on the counter (in cute little soy sauce dishes). I use two as I was told to take my Calcium at night. They sit there until after Breakfast has digested a bit then I take them between breakfast and lunch. But without the MTWTHFSS container, I'd be lost! You can get them in the grocery store or any drug store. I take a multi, fish oil, Biotin, Vit D, B12, and Glucosomine in the morning and two calcium at night. Once in while I forget but I don't stress about it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
