i am on a prenatal gummy right now. all women of childbearing age really should be on a prenatal. it promotes general and reproductive health. plus, if for some crazy reason, you get pregnant, you know the foundation is set nutritionally. as long as there is sex to be had, there is ALWAYS a chance ;) lol

for post op i'm going with Celebrate Vitamins. they have formulated specifically for each type of surgery. they know exactly what type and quantity of vitamins you need for absorption.

I had a really really hard time taking Vitamins for the first few months, but once I could start swallowing them, this is my daily cocktail (I worked with a naturopathic doctor to come up with this:)

I take the Calcium at night; the rest in the morning.

Hope that helps....BTW, I hated the chewables...yuck.

What brand of fish oil do you take?

Currently, I'm taking the Bariatric Advantage chewable multivitamin. Once they're gone, I'm going to move to their capsule form. I'm also taking extra biotin and slow release iron supplements.
