I've always taken a multi even before surgery. I got my bloodwork done recently and everything was spot on. I don't know how it would have been if I didn't take my multi. I don't take anything else though.

yep, i cant handle the huge calcium citrate! plus i had kidney stones two weeks after surgery so im afraid to take it. Just haf my six month check in, and my first labs done, everything was fine including calcium, but my iron was way below which wasnt surprising cause i tend to br anemic. as for looking at your goals, you will for sure meet your goal of 155! We are close in weight and i am at 158 and still losing even though very slowly its still coming off:) Good luck!

I take my vitamins since I eat so little and can't eat enough to get it all in. I take a Flinstones multi with iron twice a day and half of a Twin Labs calcium once a day with food or after eating. I got sick the first time I took my vitamin. My surgeon's office said to take them with food and space them out througout the day. Never had a problem since.

I should mention the Twin Labs is a bariatric calcium- so it is chewable. Not awesome tasting but it works.

I would suggest getting on at the very least a multi. It helps in the long run, seriously

When I had my blood tests done my doctor said I don't need a vitamin. She told me to take vitamin d and folic acid. I live in canada so that is why I need the vitamin d.

You should take a small chewy multi at the very least.

My blood work was perfect at 3 months. And by 6, it all crashed.

I'm a big vitamin advocate now. I use to think that I'd be fine without, but I wasn't okay.

Since we can't eat out way to high levels of Vitamins anymore, multis and supplements are the only thing we can do.
