How many Flinstone Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

Actually they are costco kiddy Vitamins but since they are chewable it's almost like eating a sweet tart. Unfortunatly the % of diet numbers really don't make sense since they were meant for little kids. How many of those should I be chewing up? I currently eat 4 in the morning but I want to make sure my nutrition and vitamins levels are where they need to be.

I take the Walmart brand of childrens chewables. On the label it says for children take 1/2 once a day for adults take 1 a day. I compaired them to all the others and they had the most % in them. My Dr. has me taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm.

My doctor said if to take 2 flinstone chewable Vitamins daily. I bought the chewables that they sell on obesityhelp.com, I received them yesterday and they taste vitamee. So for now I will use them but later on I may switch to another. Can you tell me how you post the ticker at the bottom of you post, I can create it, but don't know what to copy and how to post it?

Thanks,

Corgi

Um, well, not really, I guess. I do notice that if I don't take any Vitamins for several days in a row I start to drag, but I can't isolate the effect of any of them in particular. I've always taken E but started adding the B when last summer my surgeon noticed my levels were borderline-low. And since insufficiencies can lead to irreversible neurological problems, he suggested a supplement. I agreed. :)

My doc told me to take one flintstone in the am and one in the pm. He also has me take one Tums in the am and pm. The tums adds Calcium ( which we women all need plenty of) and it also neutralizes stomach acid early in the morning and before bed.

Hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
