I take one Centrum Chewable with Minerals (need the iron) and 2 viactive calcium chews daily

I use sour gummie one-a-days, chewed really well. I find they aren't very sour at all but taste a lot better than the plain ones.

I also take:

B12 (sublingual) - very important to take for the rest of your life

Calcium (petites) - important because you won't digest it quite the same

Vitamin D (Gelatin capsule) - important because most people don't get enough anyway

B1 (gelatin capsule) - important for the first 90 days

Iron (every three days - slow release) - for women this is important if you don't eat much meat

Acidophilus (pearls) - this will help keep your intestines happy with beneficial bacteria

Prilosec (not the generic) - keeps acid reflux away, suggest for the first 6 months

Biotin (sublingual) - will help prevent or reduce hair loss

B Complex - good to make sure you're getting all of your Bs as they help with energy

Cinnamon (revs metabolism)

Magnesium and Zinc (snapped in half)

Omega 3 (sublingual)

Celebrate chewable multi vitamins (2 daily)... they are actually indicated for gastric bypass and sleeve patients and have higher levels of many of the vits and minerals suggested for LB patients. I also take 2 Tums daily for calcium and to help with any heartburn or acid reflux. My first round of blood work post surgery a few weeks ago came back really good as far as levels of the B vits, calcium, and magnesium so I'm sticking with this for now.

thanks for the help guys! I was taking Flintstones (which were recommended by the diatician at my surgeons office) but have found that lately I can't stand the taste of them. I have also recently had to go on Prilosec OTC due to acid in my stomach, no reflex... just horrible burning feeling every time I ate.
