[Big Smiles 4]

Yes those are good Vitamins too take! It's crazy bc all of these things are happening. I just sit and think why didn't I just be consistent and do it naturally. However, it's too late. I got to keep moving forward!

I take Flintstones Complete chewables twice a day, Celebrate Calcium plus Vit D three times a day, Celebrate B 12 once a day, and a sublingual Biotin (that's for the hair loss). Since adding te biotin, my hair has almost completely stopped falling out. It's fairly cheap...I order mine from Vitamin Shoppe online.

Lolly,

Three times a day?! How do you remember to take them? I'm going to need help with this one.

I'm presleeve. My doctor has recommended: a multivitimin taken twice a day, B-complex and Calcium citrate+vit d3

I purchased: flintstones for those days when I can't swallow a pill. chewable calcium citrate, magnesium+d3, B-complex, and a very good pre-natal Vitamin with Biotin.

I will be doing a VLCD for the months leading up to surgery so I'll start the Vitamin regimen when I start the VLCD.

lolly i take Celebrate multi my nut said it has all of the Vitamins we need and the only thing i take with that is calcium citrate with d and B12 and b vit under my tongue and the multi i take once a day. thank god no hair shedding YET

I take 2 multi tabs, 2 B12, 1 b50, 1 d, 1 krill, 1 Prilosec and 6 Calcium chew (3x a day). The tabs are high potency from trader joe. 200% of everything but magnesium, Iron and copper. Both BA and Celebrate multis caused me to heave on a daily basis. I have now started taking chia seeds with my shake in the morning and at night. These are really high in the omegas and work better for me then Miralax. They make my shakes super thick, but do absorb a lot of the shake flavor (IMO). I like letting the seeds sit overnight for my morning shakes.

I take 2 one a days Gummis for woman, two calcium chews target brand, one 10,000 mg Biotin. My hair is falling out a lot but lucky for me it's curly so from faraway I get away with it! It started in sept and its steady shedding grrrrr

Yup, if Celebrate works for you then great. If BA tablets work for others, then power to them. They did not work for me even though I really wanted them to.

The heaving usually occurred because I took the 3 celebrate capsules with Iron all at once in the morning. I tried to spread them out, but kept forgetting to take 1-2 of them because i cannot take them at the same time as the calcium chews due to the cancel effect of Iron and Calcium. The high iron percentages in the Celebrate multi may also have been a problem for me. I said enough is enough. I want to take all my supplements in the morning ( with the exception of calcium chews) and I do not want to dry heave any longer. The trader joe tablets fit the bill, but I am sure there are a lot of other multis that I have not tried or heard of that would work.

I encourage others just to find something that works for them, meets WLS requirements and does not have side effects like feeling sick or getting sick. You do not have to settle for feeling crappy after taking your daily supplements.< /p>

In the morning I take 2 chewable flintstones. Then at lunch one chewable Kirkland Sugar Free Chocolate calcium chews mnmm they taste like candy. They have vita D & K in them. Then I have another after dinner. So good. That's all I take.
