Does anyone else have difficulty remembering to take their vitamins on a daily basis? I'm a complete bonehead......some days I take none. I think I've figured out I need to put all my calcium supplements in a snack baggie as if I'm going to snack on them all day long....lol. Its the only way I can remember.

I finally started using 3 pill boxes. I put 2 of my calcium in my PM box since I take my multi and lunch.

My period tracking app has a pill reminder. But I also have a reminder on MFP. In the past I've used med reminder apps.

I pack my calcium and multi with my lunch bag so I either take an hour b4 lunch or after

for some reason my doctor doesn't require vitamins till after 1 month of post op. ???

but i'm curious, I know the calcium one is twice a day.... but can you take the others together or do they need to be spread out?

Surprisingly, I haven’t missed a day. I made it part of my routine pre-op so I wouldn’t have problems post-op. I’m coming up on 3 months post-op so we’ll see if I can keep this up long term. ?

Yep, I've missed quite a few. Haven't figured out a solution that works for me. Mostly it's because of rushing in the morning, so maybe laying them all out in baggies on Sunday evening would do the trick.

Multivitamins. I use patches. I patch per day. Use for 1 year. Vitamin D 800-1000 mg per day. Use for 4 months. Vitamin B12 1000 mcg, once a week. Biotin 5000 mcg per day. Use for 6 months. I also bought Melatonin patches.

I always remember. I think it’s because I have been taking daily medication since 2011, so I am so used to taking medicine. Use the app Baritastic! They have a reminder feature to take your vitamins!

@soccrmom23 I have reminders set up on my phone for vitamins (I have 1 chewable 4 times a day because I'm pretty deficient in a lot of stuff), plus meal reminders 5 the a day (simply am not hungry, 3 weeks post-sleeve surgery).

Me!!!! I seriously forget and my vitamin requires three times a day ?

I have a chewable that's once a day. It sits in front of me until I take it as a rude reminder. (Probably because I dread the flavor) LOL

Where do you get your patches from?
