Ok so I currently as per my dr take multivitamin in am with two calcium chews for lunch I take b12 and vitamin D dinner I have another multivitamin and two more calcium chews and before bed a probiotic . Am I always gonna have to take all these vitamins or is this just initially postop the first couple of months ? I'm. Currently three weeks post op just FYI !!

Multivitamin is for life. The others will vary depending on how your labs come out when you have them done.

Good luck!!

I take a Flinstones vitamin a day. lol

I'm taking the Celebrate multivitamins. I am still searching for a calcium I can tolerate, the ones I've tried were yuck!

My NUT gave those to us. OMG I can not stomach them. They foam in my mouth. lol I just cant handle them.

I take prevasit first thing in the morning then 2 calcium citrate pills and my multi vitamin after dinner. My doctor and nutrionist said I will be taking these for the rest of my life.

That's interesting because the Celebrate were the only ones I did like! We really all must taste things differently. I spit out the Bariatric Advantage ones...couldn't stand them.

Ok so pretty much everybody is just on a multivitamin is what I'm getting from yalls replies. All my vitamin levels were within normal limits when I had my blood drawn at the hospital except my calcium was a little low. I'm just so sick of taking all these vitamins ugh . I think the dr just gives us that vitamin regimen cause we buy them from bariatric advantage as a preop vitamin package prior to surgery what a waste of dinero :-p thanks everyone for the input :-)

What is prevasit?

Omg I could tolerate the bariatric advantage while doing my preop diet but post op not no but hell no as soon as that Vitamin goes down my mouth starts watering and I have to use everything in my power to not vomit ugh so the dr told me to crush it and put it in my Protein shake so that's been working for me cause I'm determined to finish that big bottle since I paid for those darn bariatric advantage Vitamins haha!!!

Ideally, you should take your calcium at least 2 hours apart from any other vitamins, including your multi. Calcium can prevent other vitamins, especially iron, from absorbing properly. I usually take my multi in the morning and at night with breakfast/dinner. I take my calcium around lunch and late afternoon with lunch, some days I only take one. If you're younger, you don't need as much calcium as you might think. My calcium levels came in just fine on my last labs and I am 36.

I think she means prevacid....antacid medicine

I believe it is like an antacid but on my own I stopped taking it , thinking I didn't need it anymore and when I had my 1 month check up the doctor said I had to continue taking it.

sorry, spelling error, I did mean preacid

My doctor only prescribed GNC chewable kids multivitamins so i'm taking that in the morning.

I just got my sheet for what I am suppose to take and I was prescribed Optisource Vitamin and Minseral Supplement. They are chewable and I'm to take one 4x's a day. She said if I take this, I don't need to take a variety of pills, I will only need this one. I need to take Flaxseed every day for my eyes, and I'll find out soon what I'm going to have to do about that one.
