I noticed i was taking my vitamins daily like i was told for about 4 days after surgery .. its been 5 weeks and i havent taken one since.... i eat alot of veg and fruits and my protein drinks i really dont feel like i need more then that... at least until i have more restrictions..

I was banded on Feb 2, 2012. I missed my Vitamins alot at first. But I started losing my Hair!!. I don't miss them now. Take your Vitamins!!

I agree. After weightloss surgery .... Take your Vitamins!

Interesting. I was never told to take vitamins. Can anyone suggests a good one? Preferably chewable. I have issues swallowing pills.

I haven't been banded yet, but at my consultation with my surgeon yesterday he said vitamins for the rest of my life. I went today and bought adult gummy multivitamins, gummy Calcium 500mg 2x a day and sublingual B-12. I also bought Biotin.

Until I hit my goal I took 2 multis a day, 2 calcium a day and 1 Biotin. Dr said now that I am maintaining I could do the same routine but take only 1 multi. I used Bariatric Advantage until goal. I wanted something formulated for us but now I do Centrum Chewable. I also would forget inthe beginning so I bought a pill case from GNC and packed a few of each in my bag so if I forgot at home, I had them with me at work.
