The literature I got from my surgeon's office says to wait two hours between doses.

I seem to remember hearing two hours, too. But I take one in the morning and one in the evening. The exception is b12 because I get that all at once.

We were told to take 500mg 3x a day, so I take mine with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I have my supplement with iron before bed.

Calcium needs 2 hours.  500-600mg at a time.  Iron also needs to be two hours apart from calcium.  Which means you need to take vitamins 4 times a day to get the right amounts of calcium and iron.
