Terrible About Vitamins

[melb1976 12]

I've been so bad about the Vitamins. I even bought all the good ones from Bariatric Advantage. I just cant stand the aftertaste. Anyone else have this problem?

I know my dr told me you could crush them up in small bits of food or a bit of Protein Shake.< /p>

I had a problem with taking mine to at first but when my hair started falling out and I was just plain tired all the time I decided that no matter what I was gonna get the Vitamins in. Its so important!!!

Its VERY important to get ALL your vitimans in daily, you don't want to loose your hair, or be malnurished (sp?).

My advice is to go out and buy tasty Gummy Vitamins like I did, vitafusion is a good brand. What I do is take all Vitamins in the morning (except for the other 1/2 of Calcium I take at night) and how I get through it every morning is I chew up my first gummy, then pop 1/2 the pills in there before I swallow so it's easier to get them down and then repeat the process. So I get all my pills down in like 30 seconds because they're mixed in with the tasty gummy. What I take:

I am constantly forgetting to take my Calcium. Not sure if everyone is aware but you should not be taking your Iron and calcium at the same time because they compete for absorption.

I was told take them at least one hour apart and that's my down fall. I take my multi and iron first thing. Then "plan" on my calcium an hour later. I stick it in my pocket, go to work and come home at the end of the day, take off my uniform and there it is in in my pocket still! I'll take it then and then forget to take my second multi an hour later!!!! Ugh!

I have to do Gummies! They may not be the best brand or type to take but it is better than taking nothing!! I can't even stomach the other stuff.

How come you have so many? I only take multi, b-12, Biotin and calcium chews.

I set daily alarms on my phone for times I need to take my Vitamins, and I have a travel case that I can just throw in my purse every day for these middle-of-the-day ones. Works great!

Do u think I can take the gummy vitamins? My nutritionist says no. I think she's afraid I'd swallow them whole. I guess I could chew them up really well.

I hate Vitamins and the after taste also. Before I use to throw up after working out and taking them. My dr said absolutely no to the dummies because of the malnutrition. :-(.

Today was my first day on the four I have to take. And all total it took around 3 hrs to take them Burping and the after taste was horrible.

[LosingItForMe2011 320]

My nutritionist says no to Gummy Vitamins because they don't have as many Vitamins in them as the others. There are a lot of nutrients missing or are lower in the dose.

I take daily 2 flintstones Multi Vitamins, B12 subliguil, D3 and Calcium. I'm having a hard time getting the Calcium in though because of the wait. If I could take it in the morning with the others I'd remember but, I have to take 600 a few hours later and then another 600 2+ hours after that. I keep forgetting though.

I just got my 3 month bloodwork back and Vitamin levels was fine. I take 2 flintstones gummies and 2 calcium citrate Gummies daily and b7 shot.

Whoa where did you find calcium citrate gummies? I had a hell of a time just finding pills that weren't Calcium carbonate
