Recommended Posts

I take over 30 health meds and now with the Vitamins it will be so much. Is there anyway to find a Vitamins that has it all. I just started to look and haven't found one yet.

I have to crush my vitamins after surgery. but this is what I have

Calicum Carbonate 600mg two tab a day

Multivitamins 2 a day after surgery (now I need Iron pills bc the one that my pharmacist gave me have no Iron in them )

Iron

Vitamins D-3 1000iu three caps a day

B-12 1000mg one a day.

I would like to get them all in one pill is that possible ?

also Im going to start taking Biotin 5000mcg a day. and also flax seed plus Fiber.

ok going back to topic, is there one pill that will cover for all of the above

thank you

I am not aware of this miracle vitamin...but I'd like to know...

I have to take calcium citrate, D3, CoQ-10, Multiple and B12 as well... Keep them at my desk at work so I remember!

I had the same problem. Here is what I went with:

  • Trader Joe's High Potency chewables
  • B12 injections (monthly) they don't hurt at all - get rx from your doctor & inject yourself
  • Iron tablets chewable
  • Kirkland (costco) chocolate calcium chews - 2 chews have your calcium citrate and Vitamin D for the day and taste good - better than taking Calcium and D separately

Nope, I looked and looked. I also have a lot of regular medicine and I was not looking forward to adding more. I actually like the Centrum chewable vitamins the best of all the ones I tried.

You need to separate your Calcium from your Iron and shouldn't take calcium with acidic foods or coffee. Also if you switch to calcium citrate your body will absorb more of it so you won't need as much. I take my Multivitamin and iron in the morning and have half my calcium at lunch and half before bed. If the iron makes you queasy take it at night and take your calcium at a different time.

Nancy, the fusion Vitamins have Iron and Calcium in them and do not have to be taken separately. They explain how on their website. They offer a sample pack so you can try them. Any other Vitamin the Calcium has to be taken at least two hours after Iron. As Misty says, calcium citrate is the type of calcium we absorb the best after surgery. My nutritionist said that the two doses need to be about 12 hours apart because your body cannot absorb more than 500 mg in one setting so if you take more than that in, it is not doing anything for you.

Celbrate also offers samples. I take a multi with iron in it and an additional iron pill. I do not take calcium with my surgeon's approval because of a history of kidney stones. This is monitored with labs and if it drops then I will have to go on calcium.

Good luck.

My nut just emailed me she said this.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, you could take this supplement if you prefer, and you’re right, you would just need an additional Iron supplement but also extra Vitamin D. You could purchase these Vitamins, take them at two separate times/day and then taken your Iron and extra Vitamin D (2,000 units more) together.

Hope this helps… good find!

So its still not enough on it own, aarrggg i just want the lest pills the better

      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.
