My MD has me take Calcium 500 mg 3x day in addition to the once per day ProCare. I take the procare at the end of the day since you are supposed to allow 2 hours between calcium and taking Iron that’s in the Multivitamin. I drink milk in the morning and don’t after dinner so that schedule works for me.

Anyone here in my county gets put on gummies by the bariatric team so you can just suck them and let them dissolve easily. So weird how it is so different depending on where we are!

I had never taken Vitamins before with the lapband so it was hard to get used to, but I'm four months out from revision to RNY and just had all my labs come back perfect!

Here are the two things that helped me be successful:

1. I got one of these pill organizers with multiple compartments for each day and fill it up every Sunday. Plus I have it sitting right where I see it every morning so I don't forget to take it to work.

2. I got a free app called Round. You set up the reminders and it's a bit of a nag if you don't tell it you took your pills! I'm sure there are others but I found this was easy to set up.

hope this helps. Oh and also for calciums I prefer the bariatic advantage chews- chocolate. But I think everyone is different. Get a sampler pack before you buy a whole bag. You don't want to get a flavor you dread taking three times a day! I made that mistake with Peanut Butter and coconut. Finally I just gave them away at support group! Everyone else thought they were yummy!
