I took two chewable Trader Joe's High Potency multi-vitamins each day at your stage. One in the morning, one at night. You do have to take Calcium and Iron separately if you want/need those minerals. My labs were always terrific. Plus, the Trader Joe's Vitamins are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any specialty bariatric Vitamin.< /p>

My surgeon recommends Centrum chewable Adults. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. They are not terribly expensive and my blood work has been good (9.5 months out so far).

I use Source of Life liquid Vitamin for three years recommended by my fabulous educator, a compound pharmacist. It is on Amazon, not the average store. Our pharmacist has a great health food store. Tastes good and a bottle lasts forever.

I like the opurity Vitamins, the only one out of several I tried that I could stomach.

My surgeon recommends Flintstones complete. Make sure they are NOT the Gummy type. I will be taking 2 a day after my surgery. These are made for children and they really taste pretty good.

They are all disgusting. I cannot wait to be able to swallow pills again. I had the melts a couple of chewables and a liquid. They are all so terrible. The flintstones are the easiest but just try to make it quick because none are going to be good is my advice!

I also take the Bariatric Advantage Multi EA chewable. They are ok thought they would taste better. Going to ask my Dr at some point can I change to everyday Vitamins from CVS instead of having to get them on line for the rest of my life.

They are pricey the Bariatric Advatage Mutlivitamin.....m

My Dr also recommended Celebrate Multivitamin --MULTI COMPLETE 45-----it includes the MVI! B12, Vitamin D and IRON....it is cheaper and also a Capsule...I am going to try them after I finish the other ones. If anyone has tried the CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN..please let me know if they are any better than what I am taking now. Thanks

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
