Addicted To Vitamins

Before vsg I would NEVER I repeat NEVER take my vitamins. I now take vitafusion multivites and vitafusion calcium (they are sooo delicious) I have to hide them from my husband and daughter. In addition to these I take centrum chewables because it has more iron. I asked my doc if I was taking to much and he said too many vitamins can't hurt so every chance I get I treat myself with a calcium gummy trying not to exceed 5 in a day. I drink lots of water to keep from getting gall stones. Has anyone else fallen in love with vitamins? If so, what kind do you take?

Actually I would be careful taking too many vitamins. you can overload you system on 4 vitamins ---A,D,E,K. These are fat soluble vitamins, so if you take too much, you do not pee them out like all the other vitamins. hypervitaminosis is a well know syndrome and you want to avoid this. so take the recommended amounts and try not to overdue it.

Thanks for your post

Even though I have not had surgery(hope to have it this summer), I take my vitamins. Most of us are Vit D deficient, so it doesn't hurt if we take more of the D3. Of course, with your location, you may get enough, if you spend enough time outside. However, I will not dispute that A,D,E,K are fat soluble, and are the ones that can be overdosed on.

Thank you for your post. Before surgery I was so malnutrioned (is that a word?) my doc said it wouldn't hurt to take enough vitimans. At my next appointment I will have blood work done and I will definitely know if I'm doing too much then I will back off lol

I love my liquid B12...after I take a "hit" of that stuff I"m off zoomin. I use it twice sometimes in day especially before going to the gym. Keeps me zoomin!

Vitamins were never my thing. But now a days, I take my vitamins, Except now I look at them and hope there aren't too big for my little tummy. ;)
