So Many Pills

[FancyChristine15 810]

I knew that having to take Vitamins was part of the deal of getting the surgery, but there are sooooo many! I mean, if it'll keep me healthy, I'll do it. I'll just complain about it a little lol

I was just thinking about this exact topic this morning. I am taking less prescriptions, but a heck of a lot more Vitamins. I will make that trade off any day, but I would like to have a day when I don't worry about pills and swamping myself with Water. lol

Vitamins are a whole lot different than prescription medicines. Generally-speaking, they don't have the side effects and untold other horrors. I will gladly trade my chewable vitamins for the prescription meds any day and 5x on Sunday.

So true Mattymatt!

Oh, try the PatchMD! I was fed up with all the pills, particularly the three giant calcium citrate pills a day. Now with the patch my only pills are 25 mg of Cozaar, omeprazole, Strattera, fish oil, Fiber pills, and Sennokot. And the Patches are only $20 for a 30-day supply!

I end up carrying a baggie with me all day because many of my Vitamins have to be at a specific time (spaced from each other). Drives me crazy... I do REALLY enjoy it when i can stop taking one though....

This is why I switched to a 1x per day capsule that I can swallow. It covers all the ASMBS recommendations. The only thing I take separate, also once per day is Calcium and Vitamin D combo tablet.

I have a huge pill thing that divides my pills into four times a day. Once I found a Calcium chewable (bariatric advantge brand) instead of those awful calcium citrate pills I was much happier.

Hell yes to the Calcium chewables Bariatric Advantage has! The nutritionist said the chocolate ones tasted like tootsie rolls and I can't believe they're right.

And I still sing the praises of my Welllesse liquid with calcium citrate , D3. with magnesium. Shimmy shake is amazed. hers taste like Toorsie Rolls, well mine tastes like melted orange sherbet push-up. And I do like the convenience of it.😛🍶
