So, i am curious what everyone does for their vitamins. i bought mine from GNC, and they are those chews, which are quite yummy, but unfortunately pack some calories into my day. altogether they add up to about 100+ calories! do you count your vitamins in your day's caloric allotment? and if yes, have y'all found some you like but that don't add up so much?

100 is a big chunk of your daily calories, especially early, while you're losing. My vitamins and calcium adds up to 53 calories per day, mostly from the calcium.

Mine add up to 60 if I take both calcium gummies (normally I take only 1 because I consume other sources of calcium daily).

Walgreens adult multivitamin gummies: 15 calories 

Nature's Bounty Biotin gummies: 15 

Vitafusion calcium & vitamin D gummies: 15 (you're supposed to take 2, so 30).

I didn't, but I looked it up for you.

1 serving (2 each)  Multivitamin = 10 calories total

3 servings (1 each) Calcium Chews = 45 total (3 x 15)

1 serving (2 each) Fiber Gummies = 10 total

Do the Fiber Gummies make a big difference for you? If so, what Brand?? I am having a really difficult time with constipation.

I also use Miralax five days a week, about a half a capful.  That in combination with the fiber gummies and LOTS of water keep the constipation monster at bay.

Here are the fiber gummies I use.  I buy them at Costco.  Hope this helps
