How are you all getting your vitamins in?

[princesstia 190]

So i'm 5 months out and am having an extremely hard time getting ALL my Vitamins in everyday. I have my mutli Vitamin, Calcium, Iron, Vitamin D, vitamin B12, Biotin, garlic oil, and MSM. But literally between trying to eat small meals, get in all my Protein and Water, and take the vitamins, i usually come up short. I try and take a few with each meal, but honestly i dont even eat enough meals in a day to get them all in that way. Was wondering if you guys had any strategies on how you get them all in each day. I've been extremely tired lately and feel this is due to not getting the proper amount of vitamins each day.

I'm not sleeved yet, but I like the buzz around "green superfood powders." Fiddleman has a thread on this, titled "best green superfood powder?" I've seen others post that they use liquid Vitamins and incorporate them into their shakes.

I'm interested in what others might post in this thread as well.

My surgeon only requires a daily multi. I've had blood work done at every appointment and everything has always been at their perfect levels. At first I tried to take tons of Vitamins but my surgeon said that they are not necessary with the sleeve. He only requires it with his bypass patients.

^ I am with her on this one. All of my Vitamins are in capsules so I can easily take them apart and mix them in Water. I usually go with Garden of Life brands.

I had liquid vitamins but to me they seem really expensive and sometimes they can make you gag.

hahaha. I meant I was agreeing with Curvy. Right as I hit post another person posted after her.

I have an appointment to come in and get some blood work done so i'm interested to see if anything is lacking.

I saw that thread and have been looking into them. I juice right now so it would be great to substitute going to the farmers market twice per week with some superfood powder.

I have liquid vitamins that I've never used before. A guy bought them for me but they were super expensive. I don't think i can keep replacing them.

I do 2 multies, 2 Iron, 6 calcium chews, 1 Omega 3.

multi & Iron am & pm

Calcium 2, 3 X's a day starting 2 hrs after iron

Omega 3 pm

I do it every day.

I take a b-12 injection once a month

everything else is included in my multi.

if I miss anything its usually my calcium chews, but not to concerned since I am eating cheese and drinking milk every day..

[heartonmysleevey 133]

I take a Calcium plus VITD combined. That helps minimize how many I have to take a day.

After breakfast: Multivitamin

With lunch: 1 calcium with vitD

3pm B12

Dinner: calcium with vitD

Before bed: Prilosec and BC

Hope that helps.

Well, if I don't bor you with the idea in Curvy's post and can fling it out I can start with my Vites at least.

I used liquid vites after surgery and now use gummies most often, the liquids were Wellese brand I got them at Alice.com but didn't think it was so much extravagant for then although a bottle of pills or gummies goes so much further I did enjoy it for just a while.

I use one of Vitafusion men's daily's or Vita Crave men's gummies daily, added I use Iron small dose pills every day and Vitamin D gummies and nothing more with acception of Glucosimine joint stuff once a day, but that is for pills. I also use sublingual coq10 and injection for B12. prescribed me was only multi daily's and B12 and Iron. No Calcium.< /p>

so next, this might make you gag too, but, I like it, hmmm,

I do also get a daily morning mix of a regular low cal Protein mix drink powder and added to that are touted high potency large spectrum nutritinal supplements and Protein boosts in varies powdered form and a few chinese and indian herbal's some as liquid extracts. Most of these with acception for a few can be found in a variety of preprepared with superfood additives as well in drink mixes such as those good for it in the thread by Fiddleman but I experience them in some what larger doses at times and specificlfied to my take on use for this stuff just a little less fancy alone as are.

Benifits for use of such additon mixes to your drinks can varry toward better health and some things in that are: adding some protein, nutrition, eyesite, hair and skin health, circulatory strengthening, liver and digestive cleansing and antitoxification, antiinflamatory, heart health, clear thoughts, less hunger through better nutrition, mellecular level cell strength/cell building, better imune system health, energy boosted.

I also own a Nutri Bullet which liquifies the hell out of any veggetables or fruits and greens,seeds and nuts which I stuff into that and with those additives as well with those, I just don't put 101 things in and I mix my recipe up a bit now and again for flavor or value in content toward health. Also I have a juicer and juice carrots with apple most often in that.

OK ?

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

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 in morning and another 2 at night (4 g total). Alternatively, I take 3-6 g of super Omega 3 (molecularly distilled)

1 Prilosec

1 B12 (small pill)

2 Citalopram ( hope to eliminate soon)

2 Calcium chew (2 also at lunch and 2 at dinner)

Used to take b 50 complex, but no longer. I do not take any Iron that is it in my GNC vita pak and do have to be careful because too much Iron triggers my gag reflex.

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 all the way to dinner time.

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

2. 32 oz Water (take all morning pills)

3. 10 oz green drink

4. Add Protein powder to chia seed mix

5. Drink Protein Drink

6. Chew calcium chews at lunch

7. Take omega 3 after workout in late afternoon.

8. Chew Calcium chews an hour before dinner (to avoid iron conflict)

These steps usually take about 30 minutes.

I only take a Multivitamin. I got my blood work done and everything is perfect. I'm thinking you don't need all that!
