I think I take a centrum +50 chewable (I guess those over 50 need to chew ??) And a generic calcium....chewable gummies.

i get my Vitamins from (walmart)

my surgeon ok'd those for me as i checked :)

chewable adult vitamins

calcium + (2x day)

Iron (2x a day as i am anemic)

(dr said not to use gummies unless i chewed very well but i dont really like them so i just stick with the chewables. its in a fruit flavor).

I use Bariatric Advantage, all chewable, Calcium (I prefer the Cherry flavor), multi-vitamin, and iron supplement. I order online thru Diet Direct.

I take multi vitamins walmart brand! Calcium600mg 3xs daily! B12 1xdaily! Iron 1xdaily! D-3 3,000 IU 1xdaily,

I take Woman's One A Day Petites. They're tablets not chewable but they are half the size of normal Vitamins. I've never had a problem taking them.

I also take 5000iu's of Biotin, for hair and nails. It's a tiny little capsule the size of a pea.

I take the Swiss vitamins for women, they are a capsule, I have good restriction now and they go down fine, nutritionist advised a teaspoon if yogurt to make them slippery and go through the band, also take biotin daily.

I take opurity band optimized vitamins right now. Not sure I will continue when they run out. They are 1x a day chewables. I also take be-balanced vitamin D/calcium from gnc and be-beautiful Biotin chews from gnc.

I went big time money and oredered from Bariatric Choice off internet and all the flavors sucked and tasted terrible. Went to my doctor and asked if I could take the following and he said absolutely.

Walmart sells One a Day Vitacraves (gummies) and Vitafusion Calcium. I'm not telling you to take one or two each time because that information will come from your doctor or dietitian. Some will have to take additional vitamins/minerals/iron supplements.

costco also sells One a Day Vitcraves (big discount and twice the size than Walmart)

Good luck

GNC has liquid women's multi vitamin. Love it, but taste is eww. Much like children's chewable. I think they gave a men's also.
