I bought a pill crusher,,, and do Biotin for my hair, Centrum, and vita B complex and Calcium.. and sometimes vita D as it got very low. Found out certain foods help in the digestion of certain nutrients,,, as in fat, so if you now eat diff, you may not be absorbing as much normal nutrients in foods, and of course you eat much less of them and some not at all. VITAS are needed..

Absolutely!

This post was a good reminder..... I've slacked off a bit with my vits. in the last few months and have only been taking them on work days .....bad bandster. I do believe they are needed for the rest of our lives after any sort of WLS.

Here is what I take right now;

All are in chewable or gummie form

Adult chewable Centrum

Fiber gummies

Calcium

D3

B12

I may start taking vit. C and Biotin again in the near future

My dietitian said gummies don't have all that required. I loved gummies, but no more.

I take 2 Women's One A Day Petites daily, along with a huge dose of Vitamin D3

Take your Vitamins people! I am over two years post surgery and learned the lesson the hard way... I had some weird health issues that turned out to be directly related to malabsorption issues. Had micronutrient testing done that showed I had deficiencies in B12, Iron, D, and other assorted vitamins. It took over three months of intensive Vitamin therapy to get back to healthy. Just saying, take your vitamins, religiously!!!

Some gummies work out better than others. My multi is not a gummie....Adult Centrum chewable.< /p>

Vitafusion brand gummies are easy to chew and taste great.....many others get hard.

I take vitafusion brand fiber gummies, D3, B12 ....and I think my Calcium gummies may be vitafusion as well.

22 months out and I still take adult gummy vitamins daily.

[The~New~Me 17]

4.5 months out. I take Bariatric Advantage Vitaband, Bariatric Advantage Calcium lozenges (3x daily), Biotin lozenges from Natures Way, liquid fish oil. I also add Macro Greens or Miracle Reds (Superfoods) to my morning Protein Shake. You might should ask your nutritionist if you're taking enough/too many Vitamins. Many insurances allow you to go to a nutritionist several times a year for no charge.

4 years out and I still take my chewable Centrum and caltrate Calcium chewable and starting taking 4000 mg of Biotin because I seem to lose a lot of hair daily. I feel great but still worry about my hair thinning. I also try to have a banana every night in my Protein smoothie because I do not get enough protein during the day and the banana helps stop the spasms in my feet. Never stopped Vitamins and don't see them every stopping either, feel great!

Nutritionist told me, no gummies, they don't disolve completely. I take flintstones chewable, 2 viactiv calcium(caramel, delicious), Biotin twice a day, 1000 mcg, Vitamin D and a B12 sublingual. My hair has gotten thicker since I've been taking the biotin.
