I take Centrum Multi Vitamins with Iron. Between Centrum and Calcium, I take them 5x throughout the day. I start with my Calcium when I wake up with my B12. Then every 3 hours I take my Vitamins, then Calcium, then Vitamins again then Calcium. It took awhile to get used to it. I think sometimes, I even overtake them because I forget whether I took them already or not, so I just take them again. ngek.

I use the app Medisafe to remind me to take pills and keep track of when I take them. I would forget my Calcium sometimes if I didn't have it.

Flintstones!?! Crazy.

I take Unjury opurity chewables. They are really cheap and once a day. I am probably going to switch to BariatricPal's multi pills, though, since it's "nicer" taking a pill than it is chewing a kinda tart Vitamin. Not sure - the chewables probably absorb better (?)

I take a LOT of supplements (some to support exercise, some required, some because they were BOGO [LOL!]) and nothing has stopped the Hair loss. I think it's either inevitable or it isn't.

I take the following supplements:

Super B Complex, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, Mag Citrate, Chia Seed Extract, Thyronine, Unjury opurity, Inosine, L-Arginine, Beet Root Extract, and Colace. Maybe others I can't even remember offhand. If I can keep track of all that nonsense, you can do eet! Get a pill organizer and carry it everywhere. Baritastic App also yells at me when it's time to take my Vitamins.

Can’t I just take the , Centrum Women (250 Count) Multivitamin / Multimineral Supplement Tablet, Vitamin in Amazon for $18.41. But since it’s not a chewable, wouldn’t I have to just crush it. Since a chewable would just get dissolved. And I’ll also have to be taking in 2 other pills. It makes more sense for me to get this one. Instead of the Flintstone ones.

I could swallow most of my pills whole as soon as I got out of the hospital. The only ones I couldn't were ursodiol and those giant Calcium tablets. I'm not sure what size the Centrum Women's are, but if they're kind of small, you may just be able to swallow them. Centrum makes chewables as well, but not all places carry them.

Catwoman7 I was looking up the Centrum chewable ones but they didn’t bring as many. Actually the bottles where expensive if you take to count the number of pills they give. I think I was 60 pills. I think I will just buy the ones I was mentioning. I’ll get more for my money and it says take one a day. So it’s a good deal, at least I think

      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? 🤷‍♀️
