Medication question

[lydwalt85 1]

I'm very new to this (vertical sleeve 3/28) and I need help with my meds. I seem to be taking meds all day long. Is there a better way? What do y'all do? All advice is appreciated!!

I've found it much easier to spread mine out through the day. At this point taking all at once like I used to do is near impossible.

I use an app to remind me when to take meds. The Vitamins are almost a full time job! I end up taking meds four times a day.

Morning: antidepressant, Multivitamin, Calcium, Vitamin D, B-Complex, and sublingual B-12.

Noon: Calcium

Early evening: Multivitamin and even more calcium

Before bed: Vitamin C and Iron.

The app and a multi compartment pill organizer help a lot to remember when to take things.

Daniotra-- what app did you use?

I take MVI, Calcium, actigall, Prilosec, gas-x, carafate, zofran, pain med (prn), and 5 other previous meds daily. Today's schedule has me taking something 11 times today. I'm just worried about taking too much at one time and spacing issues.

I am taking the Optifast Vitamins it's 4 chewable a day and takes the place of the mvi, B12 and calcium.. this helps and I take the ppi, ursodial, and my antidepressant. Good luck

I set the alarm on my cell phone as a reminder to take my meds.

I have heard that some folks are taking the Gummy or chewy Vitamins as their part of their morning and afternoon Snacks as they are sweet.

I just find that setting my alarm is easy for me.

You'll figure out what works for you. Sometimes a talk with your MD or even your pharmacist can help decide what can be taken with what.

I been using a Multivitamin patch from patchmd.com. I wear it all day. It cost $20 for a 30 day supply. As per my surgeon it's working great for me. The only thing I get is a b/12 injection monthly.
