[AiyanaC 39]

I had surgery 4/9/18 have lost over 60lbs since surgery so I guess I’m doing okay. I STILL HAVE NOT STARTED TAKING ANY Vitamins 🤦🏽‍♀️ I have zero energy & I’m sure that’s why [emoji30]

Your look Awesome. Great progress for 4 months. Which surgery did you have?

I'm no expert and nor as far along as you but my Dr's are really serious about taking Vitamins. The concern of course is for your major organs to function at peak efficiency while you are not absorbing less from your food. Vitamins don't have to be expensive, even a couple of Flintstone chewables a day are better than nothing.

I take a multi Vitamin twice a day and Calcium 3 times a day, I want the best outcome long term. Please call your Dr and check what they say.

Yeah I know they keep telling me to take them- it isn’t a matter of money moreso routine I just can’t remember to take them🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ I’ll have a solid 3 days then I’m forgetting again

You look amazing, and only 4 mos!!!!

How about a reminder on your phone or keeping them by your toothbrush. the thing is that you appear from your picture to be pretty young so it may not seem very important right now but it you develop osteoporosis for your kidneys or pancrease stop functioning as well due to Vitamin defeciancy your gonna regret something you could have prevented so easily.

Its like not wearing your seat belt in the car, or not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle, you may never get in to an accident but what it you do?

I put them by my bed !

please take your Vitamin supplements, some deficiency show up immediately and are temporary havoc and some show up later and ruin your life.

Looking good!

I use a pill organizer and if I haven’t gotten them all, I take them at bedtime. Great job, you look fabulous!

I also use a pill box with the days written on them. They cost £1 over here in one of our £1 shops ( don't know if you have an equivalent over there?) so very cheap!

I hate taking them, really I do but I take them every morning with my first cup of tea, that way I remember but also its just easier to do it and get it out of the way.
