I've been chasing it for years, perhaps this time I'll get there.

Ok. Not banded yet, as you know, but I have already started the vitamins and I got the chewables I would need post surgery. I got GNC's chewable and while it's a good vitamin - it sucks. When this bottle is all used up, I'm just going to go with good ol' Flinstones.
ReplyDeleteI also have to take a calcium supplement. I got GNC's Active Cal which is only 500 mg per chew. I like them better than they way more expensive alternative that was only 100 mg more. WAY more expensive. And these taste so much better. I also got GNC's Chewy D-3 which is 1000 IU's of vitamin D. These enhance absorption of calcium and while I probably get enough Vitamin D naturally, I thought these made the whole kit make more sense.
I take 1 prenatal vitamin cut in half. They have more iron and B vitamins than the others have. I also take a hair, skin and nails pill.
ReplyDeleteI take a chewable adult vitamin from pharmasave up here in canada. It is called quest think it is their generic brand. It is not so bad.. I was also trying a stress b, but have slacked on those.. I should also be on calcium and the hair nail and skin one.. Jesh more thinking and buying lol...
ReplyDeletei take the gummy vitamins that I bought from Wal Mart. They are Marvel Comic superhero ones and are super tasty and easy to chew!
ReplyDeleteI take adult gummy vitamins from Costco- Multi Vites (I think). I've taken them since I could have mushies- they're very good.
ReplyDeleteI take the chewable fruit flavoured vitamins (Quest brand) but don't like them. They are sorta like Sweet Tarts. I also take the chewable calcium-almost like little chocolate caramels. I am able to swallow Tylenol tabs and they don't get stuck or anything. I hope to get back on my Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6 but need to figure out how to space out all the pills.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're doing great and glad you've turned the corner now! I take the Centrum Chewables and the Calcium Chews, both twice a day.
ReplyDeleteI do Centrum chewables which are okay (I wouldn't OD on them as snacks, though). I do Viactiv for Calcium (and caramel flavor). My PCP recommended I take fish oil for heart health so I get my Omega3 in an orange squeeze packet.
ReplyDeletei've started taking flintstones chewables LOL they are the one's my doc told me to take!! i will add in the other ones in the next month or so
