Anyone use celebrate vitamins and do they give your urine a funky yellow color?

Any vitamin with iron turns it 'funky yellow'. :-)

Its the vitamin B that makes it neon yellow. Mine is too.

Or maybe it is the 'b'? I assumed it was the iron because I always took my B separately and it didn't change anything. I would often pass on the iron because it made me constipated, but when I did take it I noticed a difference in color.

Hi al...my love for protein and vitamins is definitely fading...I'll do it though. I seem to do better if I spread my vitamins out. Anyone tried flavorless protein? I'm thiinking of adding it to drinks.

I bought it to add to soups and broths. Someone somewhere suggested putting one scoop of unflavored protein in a little bowl in the morning. Throughout the day you add a little bit from the bowl to everything you eat or drink and by days end you've added 25gr of protein to your diet. Sounds clever and easy to do. I plan to try it after my surgery.

Will be 4 weeks out tomorrow on my Quarter of a Century birthday! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />

Happy Birthday!!

Hey all you April 2013 LOSERS!! Lol

I'm 33 days out and I've lost 34 lbs!! Woo hoo!!

Finally starting to feel normal again , first 3 weeks I cried everyday wishing I hadn't had this surgery !! I stayed so sick and finally with hard work and prayers and support I survived!! So anyone struggling with regret, hang in there IT REALLY DOES GET BETTER EACH DAY!! I still struggle getting in my 2 shakes and all my vitamins every day , but I always get 1 in for sure, I know once I overcome that obstacle I will have more energy and feel like working out more!! Wishing you all the best!!

HW: 315 SW: 313 CW: 283....GW: 150 or less!!

My fusion did not so i was like huhhhhh. ;)

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you! :)

I was freaking myself out by weighing constantly. I let that damnable scale rule my life for so long I force myself to stay away...it is natural for me to fluctuate day by day and I was just getting crazy about it.

I dont own a scale.

Happy Birthday Rem :)

Okay, now a question: Do any of you use a stool softener? If so, do you take it daily? How often do you if its not daily? Every time I have a BM, it's like giving birth. :( sorry for the visual. So I do have a stool softener, but I've never really had any issues before surgery. I only go about once a week...but darn. It's painful.

I own 3. Kitchen, and two in the bathroom.

Oh, and is anyone on fitness pal? I only have 1 friend there and would like more. I'm gangstashanel@yahoo.com

*explanation on the email: I was once terribly addicted to mafia wars*

Happy Birthday Rem :)
