Topic: RE: Vitamins
I was told that absorption of coated pills is hindered for us gastric bypass recipients. You might talk to your doctor, Diana and ask if you're able to get anything from coated vitamins (or other pills). I cut all my coated pills in half so that the inside of the pill is absorbable too. Our bodies don't break down things like they used to.
I don't take anything extra besides the Optisource vitamins and fish oil (flax seed oil gives the same results) pills for the fatty acids we're missing in our diets. If you have noticed that your skin is extremely dry, try taking fish oil pills or flax seed oil (pills or liquid) and you'll notice within a few days that your skin isn't nearly as dry.
God bless!

thanks for the reponse and i guess there are some sacrifices we make to be healthy. i just hope it stops. i am just sticking with my vitamins and tons of h2o. i have switched from a multivitamin to pre-natal so we will see if it slows down. happy monday, i am so happy this board is here for support.

Hi, I also take OptiSource, it has everything that were suppose to need... I dont have to take anything extra.. so far blood work has been good.. I also order them on line, and one bottle is a month supply, for about $26.
hope this helps..

Topic: RE: Vitamins
I use the flinstones and I also use some prenatal vitamins I got through CVS online - they are CVS brand. I bought those because they were coated. I can't stand the taste of uncoated vitamins and coated ones are hard to find. I alternate between the flinstone's and the prenatals. I haven't had any problems swalling pills except for the gagging if they taste gross.
