frogftsh 37 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm curious to hear how everybody gets all of their Vitamins in each day. I have three different ones, Calcium chewable a, Multivitamin chewable so and B12 dots. That's a lot to take each day! I take my B12 in the afternoon already, but starting tomorrow I will have to add the multi and calcium multiple times a day.

axlr8n 161 Posted September 15, 2015 I have a hard time to. I take two Multi Vitamins and three Calcium chewable that all have to be spaced out... it's a chore. I set my alarm on my phone, but am thinking about other options like trying a Vitamin Patch from PatchMD. My NUT doesn't like the patch idea, but I don't see taking pills every two hours as a viable option long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mskami77 295 Posted September 16, 2015 The grape Vitamin D chewable and the lemon calcium chews are delicious so it's not really like taking a vitamin more like treats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream4tc 192 Posted September 16, 2015 The grape Vitamin D chewable and the lemon calcium chews are delicious so it's not really like taking a Vitamin more like treats. Are you talking about the Bariatric Advantage grape multi? I just sampled it today. I liked the initial taste but left an aftertaste that I didn't like. I will be trying the others over the course of this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted September 16, 2015 Breakfast time - Multivitamin, Vitamin D. I mix a scoop of Upcal D (powdered Calcium citrate) into my yogurt. mid-morning - drop two calcium citrate tablets into my Protein shake (they'll dissolve after awhile) dinner time - multivitamin, Vitamin B complex. Have a calcium chew after dinner (my "dessert") before bed - Iron I have some 5000 IU B12 sublinguals and take one once a week (on Sundays). I actually haven't found it all that difficult (once I got the hang of it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veronica_mm 87 Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I take 11 total. 3 prescribed, fish oil and Biotin by choice and the rest so 6 bypass requirement. I take them all in the morning dividing into four swallows. Never had a problem : ) Edited September 16, 2015 by Veronica_mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgal2935 596 Posted September 16, 2015 @@frogftsh I start with 1 oz. of Wellesse liquid calcium citrate with Breakfast (it tastes really good) and 2 fast dissolve Biotin 5000 mcg. Then 2 hours later half of my opurity (for bypass and sleeve patients) chewable multi-Vitamin, again quite tasty. At dinner I take another ounce of liquid Calcium and 2 hours later the other half of the multi. I also take liquid Lyrica and Gabapentin 3 times per day for my nerve condition, 2 prescription pills that I have to grind and mix with applesauce (gross) and 10mg of fast dissolve Melatonin at bedtime. Oh yeah, I forgot, I also give myself a B12 shot once per month. It seems overwhelming at first, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellabloom 2,467 Posted September 16, 2015 I can't tolerate any of them. They make me horribly nauseated. I take a flinstone Vitamin each day which is al I have found I can tolerate. I try and get my nutrition from my food. So far my Vitamin levels are doing okay. The vitamin part of this is very hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toasty 371 Posted September 17, 2015 I haven't yet gotten to the stage where my doctor wants me to use Calcium, but I've already figured out what my plan is: Morning - 1 Bariatric Advantage Chewy Bites (500mg calcium citrate + D) and 4 of my morning prescription drugs Noon - Flintstones chewable Multivitamin (contains Iron) dinner - 1 Bariatric Advantage Chewy Bites (500mg calcium citrate + D) and 2 of my evening prescription drugs Before Bed - 1 Bariatric Advantage Chewy Bites (500mg calcium citrate + D) Saturday morning - Sundown Naturals 2500mg B-12 quick-dissolve sublingual Spaces everything out nicely, no contention between Iron and calcium. The morning is full of meds, but that's kinda par for the course for me. Other than the calcium, the other Vitamins I can get at my local pharmacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
