Any suggt?

Vitamin shoppe bariatric support chewables... Like them a lot! I take the multi and the iron ones. Helps me so much.

For my multi, I use the chewable from CVS, it's super cheap (around $7), doesn't taste horrible, and I can get if BOGO every few weeks (like this week).

My B12 is a sublingual from WalMart (best taste and price so far).

I do use the Bariatric Advantage Calcium chews.

I ordered Bariatric Advantage chewable multivitamin and Calcium Citrate chews from Amazon. Free shipping with a Prime account. Check with your surgeons office. Mine sells everything you need. Prices & my Dr's office was about 10% higher than stores or online but beats a blank.

Spring Valley... I think it's their house brand. I buy the 500mcg/200 tab bottle.

My nutritionist recommended two Flintstone chewables with iron. Easy to find and not a bad taste either.

Pure encapsulations - it is a great multivitamin, not a cheap one ... but really helps to bust your health. They are capsules and you can pop it open - mix the powder with fluids or food as long as it is not warm or hot. Great option if you are looking for a really good one.

Bariatric Advantage for me. Chewables are great! Also get Fish Oil -- it will help slow down hair loss. I use a gel pack ( orange-flavored) called Coromega. Avail at GNC.

What is the name on the bottle of Vitamins you take - desperate for a decent Vitamin ( also do you take 1 or 2 a day??)

No one mentioned Fish Oil to be before... I wonder why.

I tried the Coromega from gnc. Not bad going down. However, to me it had the worst fish after taste. I couldn't get rid of the taste for hours. I had high hopes for Coromega. No way I can get past that after taste.

Really? I don't have that problem, but I generally chew my multi Vitamins right after.

GNC guarantees all their products. Just take it back. You could try Krill oil capsules. They are small and easy to swallow if you are 5 or so weeks post-op. GNC has those too -- and no I don't normally shill for GNC. I just like that you can return something that doesn't agree with you.

Dunno. I discovered its benefits quite by accident. I don't have high cholesterol, but as a diabetic, dr wanted my LDL below 70 (ridiculous!). So I went through a truly horrible period of trying about 5 diff drugs. All caused HORRIBLE side effects. So my cardiologist suggested I try Fish Oil.

My hair had been thinning for several years, and a few weeks after starting Fish Oil I noticed that my hair had stopped thinning. And I just generally felt better. I think that lifetime dieters have spent years cutting out fat, and that contributes to hair loss and dry, itchy skin. Fish oil, and healthy fats help prevent those things. Just my layperson's view. Oh, and my cardiologist's.

I found at Wal Mart gummy bite fish oil by Natures Made. Just tried 2. Not bad. A little after taste. I saved my calcium chews to take after the fish oil. Covered up the little bit of fishy taste. Happy I have found fish oil to take.

After 3 weeks going back and forth with vitamins and minerals ... here is what I have (will be using the first 60 days after surgery).

Multivitamins: by Pure encapsulations - Pre Natal Nutrients (just because I want the folic acid). Need to open the capsule and use the powder with liquids or food.

Calcium: by MRM - Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid

D3: by twinlab - D3 dots 2000IU

B12: by twinlab - B12 dots 500mcg

Iron: by Floravital - Iron + Herbs liquid

After lots of research that is what I ended up with. Like to know what u guys will take ... thanks ;D
