I gotta take my Vitamins!

Heard back from the Doc/Nurse. I've been instructed to take:

• 2 gummy multi-vitamins, 4 times daily
• 750 mg liquid (blech!) Calcium Magnesium Citrate, 5 times daily
• 2,000 IU Vitamin D, twice daily
• 50,000 IU Vitamin D, 3 times a week
• 2 Chromagen Forte 150 (Iron), twice daily
• 1,000 mg B12 injections, twice weekly
• 30 g protein (in powder form), 3 times daily

I am supposed to do this for two months, have my labs done again and they will determine if I can continue taking at these levels, or if the doses need to be upped.

Is it just me, or does this sounds a little excessive!?! They all have to be spaced just so because some have to be taken with food, some without, some can't be taken at the same time as the others. And, this doesn't even include my normal daily prescriptions (the pill, etc.)!

I am all for being healthy, but this seems a little over the top to me. Are these the levels of supplements that your Doctors are encouraging you to take...or am I just 'lucky'?

Scared of salad

Early on in my 'band life' I had a couple of bad experiences with eating salad...or even a little lettuce, so I have steered clear of it ever since.

But lately I have come across quite a few bandsters who include salads in their every day eats. Anyone else have problems getting lettuce down?

Maybe it was just an early on fluke for me and I will give it another go??
