what all of these vitamins do i need??? they sent me a sample pack and it has like a zillion vitamins and all different varieties...so confused

Have you met with your NUT yet? He or she should tell you what to take.

I also ordered the Celebrate sample pack. I went to their site to figure out what was what!! One thing I did was sort them by type (you have multiple flavors of the same item) and I kept track of the flavors I liked so that I would know what to order.

i did sort them into what was on the package, the NUT gave me a run down on the basics, but not which of this brand i should take.

What did your NUT say? Maybe I can help you figure it out.

A couple childrens chewables and a calcium supplement is what i need. but this sample pack has all kinds of stuff beyond that...i guess those are optional?

Absolutely!! Some of them are Vitamins specifically for RNY patients, some are extra Iron pills, there are a bunch of different types of calcium.

In the end, my NUT wants me on a Multivitamin that contains iron, additional iron, and calcium. I was able to find the items I needed based on that.

I hope this helps!!!

Lol, after reading tons of posts here I think I finally figured out what NUT meant - nutritionist? maybe Dietician? All this time I thought it meant your surgeon but I couldn't figure out how that came to be nut. Duh.

My doctor surgeon has me taking a sublingual Vitamin B12, a multi-B, a multi chewable vitamin (I do Centrum), calcium with D3 (love the chewable lemon Bariatric Advantage ones). I haven't seen the dietician yet but will in two weeks. She may add something more, not sure. They gave me a sheet I took into the pharmacies and scouted what I needed as I am not to do gels or capsules, but chewables or pills and no time-release.
