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. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
