colcol 128 Posted June 29, 2013 I feel like all I do is take pills, Vitamins, Calcium I have to stagger them all day I'm breaking them in half instead of crushing because it tastes gross ! Hopefully when I lose weight I can come off some of them. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynndtt 21 Posted June 29, 2013 Are you just talking about Vitamins and supplements? I was told I would need to take them the rest of my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rox 200 Posted June 29, 2013 I too have pills that I have to take - 2 types of anti depressants and a thyroid pill - also 2 Prilosec, just so I can eat - from what i've been reading - acid reflux will not be getting better after this surgery. Of course no one would want me to quit the antidepressants - that would be ugly. I have a chewable multi - Vitamin that isn't the greatest + the Calcium and B-12 I need to schedule in my day - then of course the liquid and Protein - oh well, we will all just have to figure it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerbelle 328 Posted June 29, 2013 ok here is what I am taking on the non prescription supplement side: a Multi-Vitamin specifically for bariatrics (chewable, twice a day), B12 sublingual (every other day), and I am supposed to be taking Calcium every day but ran out of the samples my NUT gave me and can't find them in the drug store (I need to go to GNC tomorrow)...I am curious to compare that with what others are taking...also, I am curious about what type of calcium you are taking...my NUT told me to take calcium citrate (which is not the same as "regular" calcium supplements, which are called calcium carbonate I think)...she gave me some that are like square chewies that remind me of those Kraft caramels...I think she said for me to take 3 throughout the day...and then she said that I could take them with the multi Vitamin because the Multivitamin she has me taking doesn't have Iron in it (the brand is Celebrate)...does all of this sound right to y'all? Is it similar to what your NUT or surgeon has recommended for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
