Addicted To Vitamins



Recommended Posts

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.

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

      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!

      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!!
