You could go higher on the D if you wanted, honestly. There are non-ops that are D-deficient who are taking higher doses. If your labs are coming up, though, wait and check the D values.
I'm so glad you're taking more! How much calcium are you getting now (in mg)? I think the doses on those Citrical tabs are 2 pills = 600 mg? I take 3 doses, and that's kind of a minimum for the DS. You may want to think about adding a bedtime dose of calcium, too.
Hooray on the 3 pound loss!

I picked up the Citracal Calcium Citrate + D3 at Walmart. I got the bigger bottle 180 coated caplets. I think it was around $10.00.....I picked up a few things while I was there. I am taking two of these at lunch and two at dinner. They aren't chewable and they are big....so I have to have a flavored liquid to swallow them.
The Nature's Made vitamin D, I picked up at Happy Harry's when they were doing a buy one get one for free. They are 2000 IU's, so I am taking one in the morning and then 2 at lunch and 2 at dinner. I noticed at Walmart that they do carry 5,000 IU of vitamin D there....so once I am done the smaller dose...I am going to pick up the higher dose.
Dr Peters mentoned at the PMRI meeting that he tells his patients to take 10,000 IU of vitamin D a day. It was one of the questions that I asked him.
My spine surgeon, told me that you cant overdose on vitamin d. He didnt have gastric bypass, and he is taking 10,000 IU of vitamin d a day. He also has a vitamin d deficiency.

Great job. I'll have to check with primary doctor prior to increasing my D that high.

Great Rose. I think the window of oppurtunity doesn't close. It just narrows a little.
Let us know the what where and how much $$ for the new vitamins.

This morning, I had a bigger than normal breakfast.....since I wont be having my mid morning snack.
I had two scrambled eggs with one slice of low fat cheese with onions and peppers, a slice of dry Arnold's protein bread and a slice of pineapple. ( I feel stuffed like thanksgiving)
Eggs always seem to make me feel really full.

This morning I got on the scale and dropped 3 pounds. The only thing different that I did was up my vitamin D to 10,000 Iu and change my calcium to calcium citrate.
I have heard that calcium and vitamin D helps with weight loss. I hadn't noticed it before, but I think it might have been cause I was taking the wrong amounts and the wrong type.
I picked up Citracal Calcium Citrate + D3 and will be taking 2 servings......one at lunch and one at dinner.
Thank you everyone for helping to get me on track.

For breakfast this morning I tried something different.
I made my quaker oatmeal and added a scoup of vanilla unjury protein powder. OMG.....it was delicious. My new favorite breakfast. I am also having 1/2 cup of skim milk and 1/2 blueberries.
And the best part....total of 29 grams of protein.
Last night I stopped at Pathmark and bought 3 Chobani greek yogurt....I am going to retry in tomorrow for my morning snack. I didnt realize that they had 16 grams of protein. A lot more protein than my Dannon Lite and Fit Yogurt that I was having.
