What Vitamins Do You Take Now?



Recommended Posts

I make a Vitamin drink every morning; I take a dose of liquid multivitamin, drops of Vitamin B12 and D3, a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar (it's very cleansing and supposed to help with weight loss), then mix in about a half cup of Bolthouse Farms juice - to mask the awful flavor of the other stuff!!

We take everything. Multi 3 times a day, and extra D. We are phasing out the D now, though, since it is so sunny here. We really needed it in Vermont before.

Additionally, my wife takes extra Calcium 3 times a day. I have been as well, but I am drinking soymilk daily now so I won't be needing it going forward. Going to re-evaluate then and see if there is anything else we need to add to our regimen.

Doctor's orders...2 Flinstones Completes a day. One in morning one in afternoon. Your body cannot absorb both at once.

I have a question regarding vitamins: how soon after surgery do I start taking them? This is only my 2nd day post-op.

Thanks!

I was told to start the multi Vitamin 2x a day, sublingual B12 the day after surgery and my Calcium begins 1month after surgery.

Jut ask your surgeon.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
