notmyname 593 Posted January 9, 2019 So, I'm taking the Bariatric Fusion Vitamins - you take 4 a day, at least 2 hours apart. While I usually space them throughout the day, my NUT said it was OK to take 2 together. So, here's my dilemma - I ran out of vitamins at work, so I took one this AM, then 2 when I got home at 9PM. I won't be awake at 11. I can't decide if I go ahead and take another around 10 to get my 4 in today, or assume its too much too close together so the last med won't absorb? Any advice? thanks! PS - already packed a week's worth of vitamins to take to work tomorrow so this won't happen again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deepseamariner 19 Posted January 9, 2019 Missing a Vitamin is no great deal. You will be fine. Just get the correct ones in tomarrow. 1 sillykitty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmyname 593 Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks. That was my first inclination. I’m just trying to make sure I follow instructions. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born in Missouri 1,264 Posted January 9, 2019 It takes several months to develop a deficiency of any significance. It's good to be dedicated to your regime, but the reality is that it's okay to miss out on several days and still be perfectly fine. Just don't take more than recommended amounts later to make up for your missed days. (Not that I thought you would.😃) 1 notmyname reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born in Missouri 1,264 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Taking two Multivitamins at once is fine. The important thing is to space out your Iron (if taken separately) so there are no absorption issues. Calcium inhibits the absorption of iron. What Vitamins do you take specifically? Just a Multivitamin? (Wait. I see that you are a sleeve patient. Never mind. You don't have the same nutritional risks.)

They’re all-in with iron so I only need to remember to take one type Of Vitamin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
