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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
