Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  vitamin question Hello, everyone. I have noticed that as I feel better and better and my eating has normalized, I tend to forget my supplements. Now, I know they're absolutely essential and I'm working on remembering them, but I have forgotten a couple of things. So, my question is: Let's say it's 11pm, I'm in bed and remember that I forgot them completely. Now, last nite, I got up and took all of them thinking well, maybe I'll get the benefit of them, but then wondered about that as I know the absorption is different. I took my Centrum silver, calcium citrate 1200mg, and Biotin 3mg. That's 7 tablets. Now when I am at work, I put them on my desk and just ingest 2 tablets at a time an hour or so apart, but at home I just forget them, even if I have them out!!!  So the question is should I take the same dosage when this happens? part of the problem is that I only want to take them just before I eat or while eating, otherwise I feel like they just get washed away. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Good question, I wonder about this too. Im sure Doc will be on soon. And some of my pills I take with just water, but you made me think, are they just washing right thru me and now Im really thinking. Very good question.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | great question! To add...should I be taking iron supplements in addition to the daily multi? Right now I am taking the following: 2 daily multi 3 Biotin 3 Fish Oil 1 Vit C 3 Calcium with Vit D - just before bed. I honestly do not know if there is something that I should be taking that I am not. I already feel like the Vit Queen. I have never taken so many suppliments in a day. My doctor has asked me for a blood sample to evaluate my nutritional intake, but I do not think we are even discussing it for another 2 months minimum. I don't like to waste time. So any expert advise would be greatly appreciated. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I also take them in the morning, the bottles I keep up in the cupboard with the coffee cups, so when I go to get a coffee cup, I grab my vitamins and then sit at the computer and drink my coffee and take my vitamins while I am on here! I do forget the ones I have to take at nite often, when I remember after I have gone to bed I just get up and take them then, I have to figure out a way to remember the nite ones better.
