Terrible About Vitamins



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
