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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
