Vitamins..in what order?



Recommended Posts

I started taking my chewable Vitamin 3 days post-op, I can begin tomorrow vitamin B12, Iron & Biotin. In what order should I take them daily?

I usually take my synthroid and Centrum chewable first thing in the morning.

Here is the regimen my nutritionist put me on:

8am - B-12 & Calcium

11am - Multivitamin

2pm - Calcium

5pm - Multivitamin

8am - calcium

Just make sure you take your calcium at least 2 hours away from your Iron (or multi that includes iron). Calcium blocks the absorption of Iron.< /p>

I take my thiamine, multi Vitamin and B-12 in the morning.

Then between 12-2 I take my chewable calicum with Vitamin D 500.

Then between 5-6 I take another multi Vitamin

Then at bedtime I take a chewable calicum citrate/vitamin d 500 again.

The most important thing is to wait 2-3 hours between Multi vitamin and Calcium due to absorption issues. Some people take calcium three to four times a day and this depends on the strength of calcium. I know calcium chews you need to take more of.

If i were taking Biotin or Iron I would take those in the morning right away but I am not taking either of those at this time.

The Vitamins I take are all inclusive for bariatric patients. I just add a scoop of powder to my Protein Shake in the am and I have my vitamins. Except for B12 and I take it in the am as well.

It is called new life bariatric. Takes the guess work out of everything!

I take a one pill a day multi-vit after eating it is nasty but worth it....B-12 in the morning and D3 sometime through out the day. I did use Biotin for a while but no Iron.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
