POLL: Share all your vitamins.
Hi Kay,
I am going to have labs done soon, so I don't know if I will be low in any area, but at my last appt in March I was fine so...
1 Centrum Chewable Multivitamin in AM
1 500 mg Vitamin C in AM
1 small Iron Pill at night
Viactive Calcium Chew (chocolate) -usually 1 a day in afternoon
2 subligual B-12 pills a week in AM
I have also been taking a stool softener when I take my iron every night because I have been having some trouble with constipation.

hi kay,
i take 1 flintstone chewable with breakfast, 1 citrical creamy bite with lunch (i just switched from viactiv chews), another flintstone chewable with dinner. about 2 hours after dinner i take another citrical bite. and sometime before bed i take a 500 mg. vitamin c and my acid reducer pill, i forget what it's called. i get a b12 shot monthly. i have an iron pill to take that was suggested by my surgeon, it's called slow fe, but my iron is at on ok level right now so i don't have to take it yet. the slow fe is a little expensive, at least for me, but we absorb it well and it was recommended. i just got mine in a grocery store. hope that helps. ~liz
HI Kay,
I take a prenatal vitamin, it is chewable, has iron and tastes ok. I would highly recommend it, one pill per day to cover all my vits and iron. It is called Nutrinate, it is covered by my insurance - I pay 10 per month. My labs came back perfect.
Calcium Citrate Liquid - one or two chugs a day (I don't get the old tablesoon out anymore, I know how it feels in my mouth so I just take a chug). It has a citrusy orange flavor and is called Tropical Oasis, it also contains vit d and magnesium.
B12 sublingual - every other day - but I am changing to the shot, just gotta go to costco and pick it up.
When I pick up my new b-12, my routine will be
Daily
1 synthroid @ wake up
1 prenatal @ bed
1-2 chugs of calcium
Monthly
1 shot of b-12
pretty simple routine. I need simple right now!
God Bless!

Hi there Kay,
I take centrum chewables also and I hate them!!! They were ok in the beginning but I cant stand them anymore, they make me wanna gag from the flavor and texture, I also have the tropical oasis but I havent started it yet cause I am trying to finish my centrums. Other than that I was told not to take anything else except my pepcid but I am through with those now too.

A Little late, but what the heck...
I take
1 Centrum Chewable
2 Calcium Citrate(Am and PM)
B12 Shot once a month(just started)
1 Urso Forte pill every night(prescribed by the surgeon to help with not getting gallstones from rapid weightloss...2 more months left with that pill)
I'm about to start taking Vitamin A supplements and B1 supplements too...Labs came back and both were on the low side.
Take Care!!
