thanks girls!

I agree that some of the "bariatric" Vitamins are way over priced! I decided to continue w/ my pre-surgery regime with some additions. I just had my blood work done ( 3 months post surgery) and everything was great (Vitamin levels too) except I am low on Vit D.

Here is what I am taking:

Centrium Silver Chewable Multivitamin (Daily) - $6 / month

Celebrate Chewable Calcuim w/ Vit D (Daily)- $7 / month

Celebrate Chewable Iron + C (2 - 3 times per week) - $6 / month

GNC Biotin 5000 mg (Daily) - $ 7 / month

GNC Vit B-12 Lozenge (Daily) - $3 / month

I will be adding a GNC Vit D-3 tablet to my daily pills starting tomorrow.

I have always resisted taking any vitamins, but I realized with this surgery and the reduction in food, that it was necessary. I put all of these pills in a 7 day pill holder and it really seems to be working for me.

One thing to watch out for is the number of servings required to get the vitamins listed on the bottle. Some I looked at (gummies especially) require you to eat 3 or 4 to get all the required vitamins. That raises the overall price dramatically. I think $100 per month is excessive.

u order online

Only the celebrate is ordered online. The Centrium and GNC I buy in local stores. I calculated the monthly cost as most of these are sold in more than a 30 day supply.

procare are chewable's but its only one a day

Procare is a good multivitamin but you would still need to take calcium as there is iron in the procare and Iron and calcium can't be taken together - they counteract each other.
