Has anyone started a Vitamin routine yet? What are the Vitamins your taking?

Doing researching I've notice a lot of people don't take the same kinds of vitamins.

What is your surgeon recommending? My surgeon wants me to take a minimum of 1000mg calcium citrate, Iron, Biotin, B12, and a multiple.

I am so glad you ask this.

I was wondering too what kind and when people take their Vitamins.< /p>

I have read that certain vitamins need to be taken together and some apart.

I would love some feed back on how different ones daily schedule of viatmins, meals, fluids etc go.

It all seems so overwhelming of when to do what. I know the docs will tell you but how does it

work in the real world (lol) what have you found that helps you keep on track?

I take a Centrum multi chewable, Iron, Vitamin D and Biotin in the morning when I wake up. In the evening another centrum along with my Calcium. My B12 I take via shot and give it to myself once a month.

I take my multi Vitamin and chewable Iron together in the morning. then at lunch or in the evening (depends if I forget at lunch) I take my calcium citrate, B12 sublingual, hair, skln and nails Vitamin and magnesium. Dr only requires the B12, multi vitamin and the calicium, I added the rest. I was told to take the Iron and Calcium at seperate time.

I take my iron in the morning because I normally have fruit in my Protein shake and if I am correct taking iron with a Vitamin C or something like broccoli helps with the absorption of the iron. (at least that is what they told me when my kids were taking iron)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
