Ok.. Vitamins

You need additional calcium.  Those are chock full of calcium carbonate, which is not bioavailable in an RNY gut.

 I take...

(1) Centrum Chewable
(2) Caltrate +chewable 2 times a day.. 4 total
(2) Fiber chewables (the big ones) 

caltrate is calcium carbonate. I would change to citrical (calcium citrate) if I were you. Rnyers do not absorb carbonate as well as citrate.

I take:
Daily:
2 multi's
vit e
b1
b12
iron

weekly:
folic acid (Rx)

monthly:
B1 and B12 shot

This is just my vitamins. I take a few other Rx's.

Why no calcium citrate?

cause Im an idiot and keep forgetting to get some. LOL

Maybe I'm misrembering, but didn't you have your WLS a long time ago?  If so, forgetting to get some calcium citrate and take adequate amount of it on a daily, regular basis is nothing to LOL about.

If not, I apologize.

No you are right, I did have my WLS about 5 1/2 yrs ago. I know that it isnt something to laugh about really. I was LOL'ing about my "forgetting" to get some. It was a play on my memory issues (cause of my vitamin def.'s).

I know that I am up for a vitamin run soon and plan to put it on the list.

Hmmm this concerns me. I am only taking 1 multivitamin a day (maybe I should take 2 but no one told me to...I was actually advised to take flinstones chewables 2 a day but they made me sick so I switched to One a Day vitamins) and 1 calcium supplement a day. I think I am supposed to take 2 but I never get to doing it at 3 weeks post op (again, I was told to take two tums but I could not stomach it so I switched to pills). I was also prescribed something for reflux to take for the first few weeks but I never get it so I never take them. I was also given something to take twice a day to prevent gall stones but at this point I am struggling to take the other pills so these do not always get down either.

I feel fine, how would I know if I was malnourished? Working up to vitamins is a process like everything else right? I mean I can only take 1, maybe 2 at a time and if I took as many as I probably should I would be full all day on just vitamins!

I have no clue.. hopefully someone will answer this.. Good Luck
