Mine are the same as what Kulita listed although B1 was only for 6 weeks and I have to take extra B12 based on my labs. I was able to skip the Iron too.

Multivitamin with Iron

calcium citrate (not carbonate) with Vitamin D

Vitamin B-12 sublingual

And maybe separate Iron depending on blood work ...

I take multivitamin with Iron, 1000 mcg Vitamin B12 and 1200 mg Calcium malate chelate. The dosage might differ for you so consult your doctor.

I take Vita4Life Multi-Standard, Calcium and Iron (both are chelated so they absorb extremely well), and their sublingual B12. I haven't needed to take anything other than that so far. People say you need to take chewables, but I haven't had ANY issues with these. People are just overly cautious and wind up freaking out thinking a capsule is impossible to swallow. They swallow pieces of food larger than these capsules. Anyway, check it out if you like.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
