Vitamins again :-)
What are you taking?
Where are you getting them?
Thank you so much for responding, alot has changed since I was an active patient and I feel kinda lost now with it.
10/18/07 RNY ( hw 305 sw 290 lw 189ish) St Joe's 08/14/14 RNY reversal to sleeve. I survived 3 leaks,4 operations and a feeding tube.
I use several different kinds of calcium citrate. I get generic calcium citrate tablets at Meijer. I use Upcal D, which I order from Colonial Medical. I also like the Bariatric Advantage caramel chews and the Calcet creamy bites from Celebrate. I take 1500 mg a day.
I use Sundown Perfect Iron, which I get wherever I find it really cheap. Sometimes at Meijer, sometimes from drugstore.com or iherb.com. I take 75 mg a day.
I use generic vitamin C with my iron, whatever I happen to find cheap. I take 500 mg with my iron.
I use Vitalady Tender D3, ordered from vitalady,com of course. I take 50,000 IU three or four times a week.
I also use Vitalady Tender A, 25,000 IU three times a week and Vitalady Tender zinc twice a week.
I do B12 shots once a week. I got the B12, and the syringes, from the Kroger pharmacy.
