I Don't know how to delete a double post

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site and it's overwhelming but has given me a lot of insight and momentum to get my rear in gear and back to a good place.
I've been reading as much as time will allow (there is just an overwhelming amount of material to cover!) Anyway, I have realized that my vitamin intake is quite lacking and I seem to have been doing it wrong for a long time based on some of the info I've been reading here. I am 7 years post-op and have gained weight, like so many others. I plan to start the 5DPT on Monday and I want to get the vitamin thing right as well.

Could anyone suggest brand names of a multi-vitamin, calcium citrate, and iron brands that they find useful and feel comfortable with using? At this point I plan to add vitamin D and flax seed to my routine but am really in the dark as to amounts, types and brands of the best vitamins and supplements.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help guide me. If anyone else is beginning the 5DPT on Monday lets join forces!

Hiya and welcome.

I use the Costco brand Multi Vitamins & I swear by Citra-Cal + D. I just switched to generic iron - I get the CVS brand. But, I can't of the iron specifics off the top of my head. Some Neighbors do chewables, others (myself included) take the swallow kind. Can you swallow pills without much difficulty?


Hope this helps. Welcome to our special place. Good luck with the 5DPT.
