Iron

Where do you guys get your iron? We have a rinky dink lil wal-mart here and that's it. Do you guys do chewables or liquid??? Liz

I do chewable bariatric edge-it's the only kind I can do.  I get it from OWLO.

I use Centrum Chewable multivitamins. Each one has 18 mgs of iron  as well as other vitamins and minerals. I get mine at Wal Mart.

However, my calcuim is Bariatric Edge chewables from OWLO... cherry flavor. I can't do the big calcium pills ... so I keep eating the big pink chewables for my calcium.

For Fish Oil or Flax Oil ... I use Rexall Naturals Organic Flax Oil softgels from Wal-Mart. It contains both Omega 3 and 6.

Sams club, I was doing the wal mart slow fe and I did nothing for me, so I switched and doubled and will see where I stand next week on labs again. AB

I am always borderline anemic.  I take 2 Centrum chewables each day (18mg of iron each) and one of the 29mg iron from Weight Wise (Bariatric Advantage.)  We will see how I stand when I get my 6 week labs drawn tomorrow. Denise

Like Happycat I am always borderline anemic.  I also take 2 Centrum chewables a day and the 29 mg Bariatric Advantage once daily. I have taken a lot of iron in my lifetime and this is the only one that has not given me gastrointestinal issues!  It is worth it for me!!  I also take the cherry chewable calcium from bariatric advantage as I have not found any other good calcium citrate out there.  I want chewable so I am sure that I am getting all that calcium into my system that I can!  You can get them at WW or order them online also. 

I am very anemic...  I am on Ferro-Sequels 50mg of iron 1 caplet daily time released pills.  Says it's gentle to your system... I have yet to notice that, but I'm sensitive to all iron supplements so that's probably why lol.  I got them at Walgreens and they are a caplet that I swallow and it was recommended by my OB/GYN, but my surgeon has had my taking various iron supplements for years.
