I'm having trouble figuring out when to take my Vitamins because you can't take certain ones together. What are some of the schedules that seem to work for you guys?

Surgery Date: May 2, 2013 - Amount Lost: 26lbs

My doctor has me take two multi vitamins (Flintstones with iron) in the morning with a b complex liquid . Then two chewy calrates in the afternoon. I do a b12 shot once a month. He has me take the same ones at the same time just does not want me to mix them.

I only take ONE A DAY gummies twice a day and the calcium citrate twice a day also, I take them when I wake up and before going to bed. The rest are shots once a month (iron and B12), oh and Zinc once a week but my pouch HATES it... it has been the only bump on my road.

8am: calcium, b12, vitamin d

11am: multivitamin

2pm: calcium

5pm: multivitamin

8pm: calcium

Since calcium needs food for absorption, I take a 500 mg calc with each meal, B12 3X a week in the morning, my 2 Flinstone completes at bedtime.

I'm glad I only have one, it's the size of a quarter and very thick. I have to chew it. It makes me want to puke, but I'm glad it's just one LOL

It's actually not bad at all to follow the schedule I'm on during the week. The weekends get me all out of whack because its off my daily routine lol

I'm the same way. I have a app on my phone called RxmindMe. I have a iPhone so may be different on other phones. But I love it and its set to go off when it's time to take my meds. It's been a HUGE help reminding me.

I have alarms set to go off on my iPhone every 3 hours on the weekends to remind me. The problem is myself. It'll go off and if I'm busy I'll tell myself I'll take it as soon as I'm done...then I forget. My mind does not work well with technology lol

I like your schedule. I think I'm going to adopt it. :-)

Try these. One a day bariatric chewable. Very small. 10.00 a bottle 30 day supply.

It's easy once you get yourself on a set routine

So I looked at this Vitamin, and it looks like it has everything I am supposed to take; B12, Iron, D3, and Calcium. So if I took one of these a day, it replaces all of the other pills I am taking?? Am I getting enough of everything then??

Iron and calcium need to be taken at least 2 hours apart. Calcium blocks the absorption of iron. This is why my nutritionist has me separating my Multivitamins and calciums by 3 hours. If you take this you'll still have to add in an iron supplement.
