@vicki yea i just realized they are carbonate. But my doctor gave me a list of supplements and that was on there as an option even my nutritionist told me to get it. Thats so weird. Its all a huge mess at my doctors and nutritionist. Even then Flinstones complete gummies mu nutritionist has the same bottle but hers has Iron in it and mine doesnt.

I take a bariatric chewable made by procare...you can order it online...it doesn't taste great, but its one a day...and that's all I have to take other than calcium citrate because the Vitamin had everything else I need in it...and the best part is, its only $10/bottle!

Does anyone have a list of the Vitamin supplements we do need? I have not gotten this info yet from my doc.

So I know we're not supposed to take a multi Vitamin within two hours of taking the Calcium but what about taking back to back calcium? Or back to back Multi Vitamins? Is it still the two hours or is it longer. I goofed today and took my calciums 2 hours apart. Also I've been taking a sublingual Biotin. Any time restrictions with that?

Where did you find sublingual biotin??

Walmart. I actually stopped taking then cause they were huge and took forever to dissolve. Now I take 10000 mcg Biotin pill. I figure even if I don't absorb the whole thing I'm still getting a ton of biotin. My nails look great but my hair is still coming out. =(

I was told to space out my calcium because your body can only process so much at a time. Too much at once just passes through and is a waste. :-)

I take mine mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and evening two hours after my multi.

I thought there was a reason why I was alternating my calcium and multi Vitamin. I just couldn't remember for the life if me.

I take a multi and Calcium every morning, then another round of that at lunch time, mid afternoon I take my last calcium. I take the multi with the calcium the first 2 times- my multi doesn't have Iron in it so it won't interfere with the calcium. I take Iron separately at bedtime every night. I've tried so many kinds of Vitamins and this is what is working for me. I wasted so much money trying different kinds and most of them were so horrible. I use Calcet Creamy Bites for calcium- they are a bit pricey but I know I can take them and be happy about it. I take Celebrate multi soft chews - order Creamy Bites from them too. Iron is a small pill I got from Walmart that I just swallow. My doc said pills are fine if they are smaller than an m&m. I do a monthly injection of b12- family member gives it to me since my doc just wrote a prescription for it.

Just have to keep experimenting until you find a routine that you can work with.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
