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

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
