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>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
