What Vitamins/supplements Do You Take (Brands/types?)

So, I am sure this has been asked before, but would like to see responses from current times. What Multivitamin were you prescribed post-wls, and do you still take that one, or have you switched to anything different? How about Calcium,D3, Iron, any other things prescribed by doc, related to WLS?

I was told to take either optisource or Bariatric fusion. Both of these are required to be taken 4x a day, and I rarely get all 4 in :( I usually get 3 in per day. The NUT told me not to take Opurity (which is a once a day bariatric Vitamin, that I wouldn't get enough in,but honestly, I would get more in taking that once day than forgetting 1-2 tablets per day. What do you take?

I was told to take Calcet or another chewable calcium citrate supplement. I took calcet the first month, and then slacked off the calcium for a couple of weeks, and right now, I am just taking my citracal petites to get something in, until I can order some calcet, but I'm not sure if the citracal gives me any benefits.

I also take D3, a gummy form.

So what do you do???

I take the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews. I have all four flavors. The fruity ones taste like Starburst and the chocolate and caramel ones taste like, well, chocolate and caramel. They're all very yummy. I take the Bariatric Advantage sublingual B-12 and Flintstones chewables with iron. The bariatric Advantage chewables made me too nauseated and vomit. I've had no problems with the Flintstones vitamins, but may try Centrum chewables if the nutrition label is a better read.

I have found Reviva at Costco, it is a liquid multi-vit and seems to be a good one.

My Surgeon told me to take Procare bariatric vitamin once a day(easy to order online for $12.00/30day supply), it seems to go down fine considering most HBP pills I take can make me nauseous also I take calcium & Iron from local pharmacy. Im looking into finding a cheaper alternative though! :)
