So for the last two weeks I have been throwing up my vitamins more often and having an upset tummy alot, well wednesday I had a dietitans appointment and she wanted me to bring all my vitamins and suppliments and that is when I found out i dont read lables well.
Two weeks ago I decided to grab some more vitamins and ADEK as well as Nectar Protein from the hospital pharmacy here where I had my surgery (the dietitans got them to carry the stuff) Anyway I was in a rush cause they were 30 mins from closing, there was a big line And I hurt a lot from standing in line so that is my excuse anyway... I looked up and saw what I thought was Bariatric Advantage ADEK in orange and not the nasty tropical flavor I dont like at all. the price is the same and I was grabbing fusion at teh same time and asking the person if they had the flavor I want and so I just grabbed it.
ends up it was BA's version of a chewable multi-vit without any special ADEK in it and for 2 weeks I was taking 3 of them on top of my 4 Fusion which already maxes even me out on quite a few of my vitamins, this means for 2 wks I had been getting a ton of extra vitamins which is not always good for you.
the Dietitian and I talked about it and she looked at my ADEK and said even they have alot of extra vitamins and since I have most of a bottle I could start taking 3 fusion and 2 ADEK and then just buy one 200 to 400mg vitamin K suppliment.
So now I have an extra $34 bottle of vitamins to give my mom on top of the nearly 500 Iron Sulfate tablets I got for $15 which are the WRONG kind and are part of why my tummy has hurt so much. so now I get to buy Vit K and Iron Fumerate which thankfully I only take half of one every other day.
I feel like a dork BUT it shows me that I need to be on top of things with this surgery and pay attention!
Taking too many vitamins can be bad. And hey, least your mom gets some free vitamin swag!
