Here is my schedule:

First thing...hot liquid, 2 horse pills, ie: bariatric chewable vitamins, bp med, prevacid, zyrtec. 2 hours I do one chewable Calcium with Vit D..sugar free chocolate..a little sweet fix, Biotin and B12 sublingual. Bedtime...repeat calcium and good to go for the day.

For Vitamins & supplements I take:

morning - 1 Trader Joe's chewable high potency multi-Vitamin, 1 sublingual B12, 1 Vitamin D supplement

afternoon - 1 Iron slow-release pill

evening - 1 Trader Joe's chewable high potency Multi-Vitamin, 1 chelated zinc tablet, 1 Biotin, 1 chewable probiotic, 1 Citracal petite.

It looks like a lot, but I just get a week's worth lined up in my AM/PM pill organizer and make it part of my daily routine.

Did your surgeons recommend taking them staggered through out the day?

Wake up 2multi capsules and 2 Calcium and 2 fishoil

lunch 2multi capsules and 2 calcium and one probiotic

dinner 2 calcium

Bedtime: 1 Iron 3 days a week. (I don't need it every day)

I can take my multi and calcium together because my multi does not contain iron.. I take a separate Iron pill before bed.

I take my Multivitamins in the morning, along with a B-12. At night, I take multivitamins, Calcium, and Vitamin D...none during the day. This is what my dr/nut suggested.

I take one Viactiv Chew Multivitamin in the morning (does not contain Iron). I also take one 600mg Caltrate +D, twice a day, with lunch and dinner. The NUT told me this helps with absorption of Vitamins and minerals from the food I eat.

Since I am pre op, I have not yet taken the Vitron C Iron supplement or the Vitamin B 12. I was told to make sure that I do not take the Iron supplement with the Calcium as the absorption of both will be affected

Are a lot of you taking more than one multi Vitamin A day? My doc said I just need to take one flinestone one a day. I take one flinestone, one B12, one probiotic, one b1, and two fish oil.

      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.
