So I was banded April 3rd. I take a daily MVI--Though, im wanting to start taking some CLA 1000mg bid, and Multiple Enzymes bid...Any others take these?? Im also going to start taking Sublingual B-12. Im just curious if any of you take these, and what else do you add daily??? I plan on going Friday and stocking up on some goodies...All of this is new to me!! LOL Thanks in advance for all of your info! KW

I take two chewable gummi bear childrens vitamins.

I am trying something new. My hair is falling out and I know it isn't Protein so it is either quick weight loss, anesthesia, or vitamins/minerals. So I take Centrum Adult Chewables twice daily, Flinstones childrens chewables 3 times daily (with Iron as even mild anemia can cause this), Chewable Calcium (the chocolate kind) twice daily, and Vit E however I don't recall how many IUs.

However, I suspect this is from the anesthesia.

Nothing much. I sometimes remember to take a multi, I know I should be taking iron as I'm low but it makes me constipated.

My doctor told me to take 2 flintstone vitamins a day, so thats what I'm on.

My doc instructed me to do chewables while I was on liquids. Once I switched over to regular food, I have to take a good multivitamin, so I tke this: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2279316&cp=2618597

I take 2 Centrum chewable multi-vitamins and 1000 mg calcium per day. Used to take sublingual Biotin to help with hair loss but that was in the beginning only.

I take a Centrum chewable daily.

I've been taking....

Flintstone complete chewable Vitamins

Bariatic Advantage passion fruit flavored chewable Iron (which i bought online)

And Viactiv chocolate calcium vitamins.

*** My nutritionist said to be sure to take the iron in the day and calcium at night (or vice versa) just not at the same time. They compete for the same thing or something. Not explaining that good.. But they would cancel each other out.. basically.

Does anyone know of a good Fish Oil pill to take that I can actually swallow? All of the ones I've tried are like 1.5 inches long and I can't get them down, they get stuck!!! YUCK....imagine fish oil s-l-o-w-l-y dripping down.

THANKS!

I take one flintstones chewable and one citrical creamy bites calcium. I have some natural herbs I take sparingly as well.

I am having terrible hairloss also... Maybe that is the vitamins ... I forget to take it and because I actually eat reasonably I thought I would be ok - no anemia. I guess it is time to hurry and really do what the doctor says. I have lost about 1/4 of my hair. My pony tail is so thin....

My pony tail is about half as thick as it used to be.

There is so much of my hair on the floors that it clogs the vacuum cleaner. My dogs poop out my hair.

I really do think this is from the anesthesia. Maybe from fast weight loss. Okay, I'm not sure.

Before the surgery I took..

-Fish Oil

-Flaxseed Oil

-Viactiv Chewable Calcium

-Centrum Multi-Vitamin

When I was being discharged, the nurse said 'The doctor wants you to only take Flintstone Vitamins chewable and not take any of the others'. I wanted to know why I couldn't take calcium and flaxseed oil mostly.. she said he didn't say, it was just on the discharge papers. So.. I'm only doing flintstones right now. I am back on my b/c and Prilosec. My heartburn was weird, it's like it never made it to the 'top' part of the stomach, but I could feel it rumbling in the bottom one. (Unrelated to surgery, I have had chronic heartburn most of my life).

My instructions were to take Flintstones and Tums for the calcium. I have only been taking one of each per day, but it sounds like that might not be enough?

Fiance pointed out last night, the flintstone chewable I have says "Children and adults, take 1 per day", so it says 1 is enough for an adult a day. My doc told me 2, so I'm taking 2 until I talk to him again.
