What kind of vitamins do you take?



Recommended Posts

My dietitian has me taking Centrum Silver chewables, 1200mg of Calcium and B12 bilingual every day but she said that after six weeks I can swallow a pill and I won't have to use the chewables anymore but I don't mind the taste. That New Whey Protein is what kills me. Gag.

Thanks everyone for your replys. I'm actually shocked to read all those who are taking childrens chewables. My nutritionist said not to take them that they didnt have what was needed for an adult. I was just hoping I could find something other than this Orange / Citrus flavor.

Thanks again!

:)

My doctors nutritionist told us to take childrens chewable Vitamins (like the flintstones ones) - but to take 2. And to Vicatin (sp?) chewable Calcium Vitamin chews. So thats what i take.

I just take the 6-pack multi complex I always did. I don't and have never had an issue swallowing pills. :juggle:

I take the Flintstones, too. Actually, I take the generic ones from Wal-mart. I also found some sugar-free Calcium chocolate chews. They're a generic brand - Nature Valley, or Nature Tree - I can't remember and I'm not at home to confirm. But anyway, they're WAY cheaper than Viactiv, and that's important because I'm REALLY pinchin' pennies these days.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
