this is just a reminder post b/c i was not taking my Calcium pills. i thought i was doing everything.

anyway just in case you forgot get in your Vitamins.

my dr never even told me anything about taking vitamins although I should be. Which are you taking besides calcium?

2 multi-vits a day

b-50 complex

3 calcium-500 mg each

My doctor never said anything about vitamins either. I will have to ask him when I go to my post op this Thursday.

Of course you should follow whatever your doc or nutritionist has told you :thumbup: but...

If you're having any trouble getting the Vitamins down, there's a powder you can buy. It contains calcium and vitamins recommended for bariatric patients. I think the brand is Celebrate. What I found is a grape-flavored powder that you can mix with a bottle of Water. I have not tasted it yet though...still pre-op. PM me if you'd like more info. I ordered it online. I'm not crazy about grape but figured it could come in handy.

Good luck and happy banding,

TPG

thanks for the reminder ! i have to place stickies everywhere because i tend to forget to take them. my dr suggested a chewable mutivitamin with iron like flinstones , calcium chewable, and liquid b12. i also take biotin and zinc.

Can somebody tell me how to get my weight ticker on my profile. I know how to copy and paste, but I'm not sure how or where to paste it on my profile. tks.

my dr didn't stress vitamins either since there isn't the malnutrition like there is with the bypass, but the nutritionist said i needed to take them anyway. I just pop a chewable flinstones complete (the purple bottle) and a walgreens brand calcium plus d (also chewable) every morning. I keep them right on my bedside table so they're the first thing i see every morning and i don't forget!
