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!!

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.

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
