My doctor has me taking 3 bariatric vitamins and 1 petite calcium a day. I started this 5 days after surgery and is supposed to be for the rest of my life

Opurity multivitamin from unjury.com. Optimized for bypass&sleeve reportedly. & tums with calcium 2x/da for calcium, acid reduction& cuz I like to chew something every once in a while.

Citrical 2 per day for calcium supplement, and Alive multivitamin 3 per day. They are both gummie vitamins. I, AT FIRST, had the chewable chalky vitamins, what a waste, I couldn't handle the tartness or chalkiness of them after surgery!! I'm sure you'll find the ones that are right for you!!

My doctor recommended me to take 1 multi-vitamin, 1 calcium and vitamin D, 1 B12, 1 Iron and Biotin for hairloss :)

I am taking a chewable multivitamin (dont like it very much), 2 calcium chews , b12 sublingual, and biotin- all from GNC

Vitamin D chewable gels (10,000 IU per serving) 1 x day, Centrum chewables 1 x day, Sublingual B12 1 x day, and Bariatric Advantage Wild Berry Punch Crystals multi w/calcium 1 scoop 3 x day in my protien drinks. I'm just 12 days post op. I ordered the Bariatric Advantage pre-op diet kit, and the post-op diet kit (protien shakes and bars (pre-op), whey protein isolate powder, D, B12, crystals (post-op diet). I too didn't start the vitamins until a week after surgery, and will continue forever....I'm ready for some new protein flavors and whatnot...and there are plenty of options out there and on this forum....good luck!

Chewable multivitamin (which I can't stand), sub-lingual B12, calcium citrate as needed (what I don't get from diet), acidophilus, and Biotin (potentially help hair loss/regrowth).

Post surgery I'm also taking Zegerid for stomach acid, ursodiol for gall bladder protection, and norvasc for esophageal spasms.

I am taking one multi vitamin and liquid cq10 .... I suffer from calcium kindney stones so my urologist doesnt want me taking calcium.... however went for my blood test and hopefully my surgeon will tell me where im lacking and i will take it from there

Hey! I just order my vitamins from vitacost and it was 24.00 dollars for my biotin, vitiamin b12, d and d3, calcium citrate, and a multi vitamin. They are all liquid, chewable, gummy or lozengers. Your doctor may require something different, so I would take to them

I take a daily multi with iron. I chew Tums because they have a lot of calcium. But what I think works really well is the monthly B12 shot I get. It makes a big difference for me and isn't that much trouble to work in. One less thing to think about.
