Vitamins?? What do you take??



Recommended Posts

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.

Vitamins are not typically well absorbed. Each drug company has their own technique for selling their crap, the reality is the most Vitamin supplements aren't well absorbed regardless of their claims.

Two children's Vitamins is better. Better even... one twice daily.

I've been wondering ... is there anybody taking prenatal Vitamins? :Banane43: They're super cheap under my health insurance at least, and they've obviously got a full range of vitamins. But I only hear about people taking chewable or liquid vitamins. I'm confused because I can swallow pills just fine -- I was discharged with a Vicodin Rx for post-op pain! It seems to me that I ought to just spend the $2.50 for my INS co-pay on Rx-quality prenatals, rather than the $8 on Flintstones... Any thoughts?

A lot of people swear that Biotin really helps with the Hair loss, so I started taking it. I am not losing any hair, but I am not losing any weight either.

I have never been big on Vitamins or chewables at all. But I found the new Spiderman gummies and they are like soft gum drops and quite tasty! Now I have a choice of the Princess gummies or Spidey. I got both at Target.

Zannie- I had been told prenatal Vitamins would be a good option. I was given liquid Lortab Rx for pain. I was told no pills for 2 weeks. I started back on Prilosec and BCP last Monday, but the vitamins I had pre-op I would still be afraid to take one of those horsepills! But the vicodin pills are pretty big aren't they?

My doctor said to make sure to get Iron, and I saw they've said iron can be poisonous for children, so a lot of the children's vitamins took out iron. I went with Flintstones because I found one that said "WITH IRON!" and I ate them as a kid, so I am use to the taste. I was going to get gummies, but none had iron.

I take Liquid Health daily multiple and their liquid Calcium. Both taste great. I buy them at Henry's in Southern California, but they have a website too.

i take the nutrilite brand double X Vitamins. they are huge horse pills so i have to cut them in half or quarters, i think after these are gone i'm going to start taking the same brand in the chewables. since the cutting is a pain and i hardly take them because of that.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
