My morning vitamin routine



Recommended Posts

Here is my huge assortment of Vitamins and minerals I take every morning when I get up. Lol.

post-33826-13813665404326_thumb.jpg

Impressive, huh?

32 oz pink lemonade with Miralax

10 oz of tonic alchemy green drink

10 oz chia seed shake drink (sans Protein powder)

GNC extreme athlete Vitamin pak (6 pills)

2 Omega 3 (1000 mg)

1 Prilosec

1 B12 (small pill)

2 citalopram

2 Calcium chew

I am used to the routine and have a pretty good system down for taking these in the morning when I roll out of bed.

1. Chew the calcium chews (little treat for morning)

2. 32 oz Water (take all pills)

3. 10 oz green drink

4. Add Protein powder to chia seed mix

5. Drink Protein Drink

These steps usually take about 30 minutes.

Holy crap, why so much? I am just curious since I take my Centrum chewable and maybe some Vitamin D (Ohio winter = No sun) and my levels are all normal. I dont even take the Centrum all the time... I'm not saying you are doing anything wrong, not by any means, it just seems like a lot of work if you dont need that many supplements. How far out of surgery are you?

Great routine.,. Staying compliant with Vitamins is really hard for some people so having a regular routine is really important!

Here's mine:

Wake up. pop my synthroid. hit snooze..... 20 minutes later get out of bed and do my morning hygene routine and get dresed etc.. Take out six calcium citrate pills, four multi Vitamin capules, one Iron capsule, one b-12 sublingual, and two probiotic beads. Pop two of the multi vitimins into my mouth and toss the rest in my pill box, Toss all the other pills into my pillbox EXCEPT the Iron which gets left on my nightstand.. Then I take the pills in my pillbox throughout the day.. When the pillbox is empty.. I'm done... When I get into bed at night, I pop the iron pill. Done.

Hi - I am 10 months post op. I take a lot of supplements to feed my body for the workouts I do every day. Might be running a 10 k or doing something really challenging in cross fit. The green drink helps me with veggies and fruit I cannot get into my diet (still improving it).

Sounds like a good system that is working well for you. I especially like the snooze option. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
