Pills/Vitamins?

Post-Op, how many pills do you find yourself taking a day? What kinds are you taking? I have read people are taking Biotin and a multi-vitamin but other things I am unsure of. Do you ever find yourself getting "full" on pills?

i started taking 3 times a day multi, calcium, flex seed..others i take once a day are biotin, folic acid, cod liver oil, then 3 times a week i do liquid B-12 and some times i do a liquid b-complex..just cos i can but i think i am forgetting something but heck if i know what

Daily I take 3 flintsone completes, 2 viactiv calcium chewables (i like the carmel or raspberry flavors), 1 prevacid (for the first three months, then it changes to pepcid AC), biotin, cod liver oil, a stool softner, ,and a benefiber SF chewable (because I'm still trying to poop). Fridays and Tuesdays I take a liquid sublingual B complex, and thiamin (B-1) in adtion to the other fun stuff. I dont really get "FULL" on them, because you dont take them all at once.

My sister lives in Greenfield... Off Apple Lane somewhere in an addition..On Cypress.. I Take CVS Multi..Biotin, B-1, Biotin, Vitamin C, 2X a week Sublingual B-12 Linda

Samantha, My list is: Daily: 3 Flintstone chewables w/iron 3 Chewable Calcium Citrite *1 Biotin **1-B6 Twice a week: 1-B12 Sublingual Once a week: 1-B1 *The biotins were recommended by the dieticians for hair loss. I would recommend you start on this as soon as you are post-op and not wait for the first handful of hair to be in your drain. **I started taking these for added energy. They weren't recommended by dietician or surgeon. I take all of mine around noon except the calcium. I take it at night. I'm on synthroid and you're suppose to wait 4 hours after taking it to take any vitamins. Noon is always late enough. The calcium is to be taken 4 hours+ from your multi-vitamins to get maximum effectiveness from both. Do I get filled up from the vitamins? No. Early out, I took the Viactivs instead of the Calcium Citrites. They were like a piece of candy to me so I enjoyed them thoroughly. LOL! Sherri

I'm still pre-op (for only 23 more days!) but I've got my pills organized already... 4 Optisource chewable vitamins 2 Citrical pills (they will be crushed in the beginning but eventually just cut into pieces) 1 biotin 2 wellbutrin (that's for my depression, not related to WLS)

I take 2 Flinstone Complete & 2 Calcium Citrate 400MG twice a day. Plus I take StressTabs (for the Vitamin B complexes) once a day. I give myself a Vit B12 shot once a month I have to take my vitamins 1st thing in the morning with coffee-before any food...I then eat about an hour later. I take the night ones an hour or so before bed...a few hours after dinner.
