Flintstones??? Aren't you a grown up?? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever it takes!
Excellent question, Toni (and one that is often asked).
ReplyDeleteThe chewable multi-vitamins are standard for folks who've had gastric bypass.
I need the multi-vitamin to make up for things that I don't absorb so well, or don't get enough of in my volume-restricted diet.
Chewable are best because the opening from my "pouch" (tiny stomach) to my intestines is quite small.
(That's why I've opted for the chewable pre-natals, as well.)
Flintstones, because they are yummy.
I also take a sublingual B12, once a week, but that's on Sunday, so it's not shown in the photo.
You take two different colors (flavors) of Flintstones on the same day!?! The four a day I take all have to be the same color!
ReplyDeleteAnd YOU'RE the one that sorts her M&Ms.
(That's all the vitamins you have to take?)
So, you take the B12 sublingually. What about the progesterone?
ReplyDeleteLK - That's funny.
ReplyDeleteI do eat my M&Ms in color-matched pairs, but for vitamins, I'm obsessive about making sure that I have two different flavors on any given day, for the sake of variety!
I'd never really thought about the discontinuity, there.
And, yes, that's all I take. 2 Flintstones and the B-12, since surgery (B-12 was daily for about a year, now it's weekly).
Added the prenatal during the cycle before our first IUI.
Lit from my surgeon's office says that during pregnancy you should take prenatals as well as, rather than instead of the multi-vitamin, and my RE liked to start them before you start trying, rather than waiting until you are pregnant.
The prometrium, of course, is only during the two-week-wait and, once I'm pregnant, will continue through about week eight.
dpo = days post-ovulation
ReplyDeleteShrike - (Re B12 vs prometrium) There's a really good joke in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteLet me think . . .
How about:
"No, honey, the prometrium you take sublingually."
(Oh dear. I think my keyboard is blushing now!)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I know I am. That's what my ass gets for trying to make you use that phrase on your blog
ReplyDeletelol - don't dare me.
ReplyDeleteYou are SUCH a teacher!
ReplyDeleteExcellent question, Toni
Makes sense for the chewables!
sorry I missed you on Wednesday: these are like the best comments ever seen!
