Do you count the carbs in your vitamins?

 Holey moley!!

I just looked up the NI on the Bariatriac Advantace calcium chews- which you need 4 of each day. 

at six carbs each, that's 1/2 of my day right there!! 

Boo~

Guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and swallow those horse pills!

Yes,

I did the Celebration calcium with 500gm per each delicious chew and i kept that for the last pill of the day.  The others intake i changed to Citracal.  Still wanted one sweet thing in my day.

Nope....but I did make a conscious effort to reduce them.  I switched from calcium chews to a liquid calcium supplement.

The carbs in those chews add up like crazy!

I too take liquid capsules. Didn't want to spend the carbs on vitamins.

Like Doggz, I don't count carbs in my supplements, but I swallow almost all of them.  I do a chewable Centrum a day, and Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium tablets that have 1 carb per tablet.  I have 3 of these.  I take Metamucil for fiber, don't count it either. 

The reason is that as long as I don't have a triggery reaction (thank you, Fiber Gummies!), I treat supplements as a requirement.  I have had problems skipping my supplements in order to eat more  food - I'm a little bit of a nut case though.  Good luck!!
