I'm right there with you - without her I don't know where I would be. My regime is similar to yours but I actually take vitamins three times a day - I take a little more calcium than you do. I've never been able to get my A up no matter how much I take and also take 150K of D. I've also had iron issues over the years - don't take oral anymore and have finally had success with the latest infusion - 18 months ago and labs are still awesome.

My doctor is also amazed how "healthy" I am at 62 - no prescription meds needed :)

Please listen to Larra. A friend of mine was revised from RNY to DS by a doctor who did not know what he was doing and she never recovered- in and out of the hospital for years and then died. Be wary!!

Oil based D is a waste of time and money. We malabsorb the oil so you'll be flushing it down the toilet and not helping your labs much

Morning:

3 calcium citrate
2 multi (Vitamin shoppe, I find I feel better with a higher quality multi, I've been taking these for years)
100K Vitamin A
800 Vitamin E
B complex



Night
2 multi
3 calcium citrate
150K IU D
2000 K
200 K2
150 mg zinc
Magnesium citrate when I have it. I'm not religious about this, sometimes I take magnesium oxide (they both have the same effect on me....it makes for a good morning "routine" if you get my drift).

I don't take iron, I did get an iron infusion but it seems like too much trouble to take it, and I was only anemic this one time. I do drink protein shakes or eat protein bars still.
