Vitamin Regimine
Every Morning I take:
1 Multi-Vitamin w/iron
2 Iron tabs (ferrous sulfate)
1 Vitamin C tab
1 Vitamin A tab
2 Calcium tabs
3 days a week
I add 1 vitamin B-1 tab and B-12 sublingual
I also take 2 prescriptions every morning for reflux and stuff.
This has been my regimine since surgery, and tailored a bit according to my labs and Dr.'s input. So far everything in my lab workups is perfect.

One Centrum adult chewale
2 Citrical chewables one morning one night
1 biotin- not my docs requirement but, I've read that it can save my hair
1 sublingual B-12
1 easy on the stomach iron
Just a note...the more I read about Calcium, the more I realize that it's important to take the citrate form, rather than the carbonate form because it's more absorptive. The only chewable I've found with citrate is the citrical.

Goal! I did it!
104 pounds gone since my RNY
118 total pounds gone forever!
I finally have a "normal" BMI
Reached my first goal of 145...and setting a new one of 135.
Reached 135 and have decided to lose another five if I can.
I'm in the 130's for the first time since puberty!

I bought some chewable citrate but they are HUGE and you had to have like 4-6 a day!
UpCal-D was recommended so I bought some from Vitalady cause I was ordering other stuff: http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/comm...ction&key=1641

Okay, I am seeing Flintstone vitamins on many people's lists, this is being serious right? I have not taken those since I was 7 years old, just shocks me to see it, but I guess it must work.
