Vitamins

My doctor suggests taking Calcium citrate three times per day but two hours apart from taking the multi-Vitamin two times a day .... That is a lot of times in one day to remember to take a vitamin!!! Do you have any tips tricks to build this into your daily routine and make it a habit? I appreciate your suggestions!

First off, you shouldn't have to stay on that amount forever. My nutritionist made the same recommendation for immediately post-op, but once I was able to eat more real food and get my calcium in that way, I was able to cut down to one dose (2 pills) of Citrical Maximum per day.

Second of all, even with taking less Calcium eventually, you will still be taking pills 2-3 times a day for the rest of your life. One good way to establish a routine is to set timers on your phone. There are even apps that are specifically for the purpose of taking meds/vitamins on a schedule.

For me it's pretty easy to stick to my routine with meds unless I'm on vacation or traveling. Then I get thrown off my game a little.
