Re: Listen to your Dr R ;-)

[Guest guest]

I know we are all different but I started the vitamins a week ago and I stop

in the middle of three of my spread out meals and take the vitamin. I then

have some food in my stomach and more to follow and I have had no problems

with them. If you are having trouble and not doing the vitamins this way, try

it. It works for me. Thank You Dr. R for caring enough to round them up when

they stray.

God bless,

Dr. R thanks for being willing to set us straight. I want to encourage all

the new post-ops out there that it does get better. I too had trouble

swallowing the vitamin and other pills, but especially the vitamin. I had

never had trouble swallowing pills before. I would take a handful at a time.

I am a little over 3 months post-op and I had trouble with this until a

couple weeks ago. It has gotten much better. I no longer feel like it is

getting stuck before it reaches my stomach. I think it just takes time for

the healing and so forth to take place. Now, I can swallow the vitamin with

no problem at all. My biggest problem is remembering to take the one in the

middle of the day. I have a sign up at my desk that says " Remember to take

your vitamins " and I still forget. Now, co-workers walk into my office and

ask " have you taken your vitamin? " . I take it right away!!!! Anyway, hang

it there people, it will get better.

P.S. Dr. R when are you going to come to Greenville and hold a seminar? I

know there would be hundreds interested. If you would like I could see if it

could be held at my church, if you don't mind standing in the pulpit of

another Baptist church. (:

[Guest guest]

Dr. R, there are several varieties of One Source vitamins. May we take any

variety we choose, or do you prefer we stick to one in particular?

OH MY GOSH!!!!! THANKS DR R!!

Nothing like hearing it straight from the horse's mouth!

Dr R? can you post something similar to the pre-op list telling

people they are EXPECTED to follow your directions after surgery? I

see so many who have not even HAD surgery yet and are already looking

for shortcuts and substitutions.

Hello,

thanks Dr R for commenting on my posting.

Because I was having such torture of taking the One Source Vitamins

my pcp switched me over even though I did Tell him what YOU wanted us

to be on....he said the Natachews would be as good.

I do realize what you recommend, but live 13 hours away,,,,so when I

had more trouble I THOUGHT I should do what pcp says as he is closer.

Now that you have clarified that matter, can we try the ONE SOURCE by

crushing them up and then taking them?

I had emailed you, but did not get a reply.

thanks,

Dee

Hi,

Nope no crushing.

If you crush the tablet it lets out the iron and it tastes worse.

It is a matter of taking with something.

I have a question regarding the vitamins. Should they be taken all at

once (if possible) or 1 times a day?

Dr R's post says not to take them all at once. Take one tablet three times a

day.

[Guest guest]

look at the post you replied to (the one from RR-- it is included

below your post...) Dr R addresses the vitamin issue....it says :
