So, this is very informative. I do not see the one you use recommended. Would you change your recommendation or stick with what you have?

I take a Gummy multi and vit D from Walmart and was getting B12 injections but my nutritionist freaked when my blood levels came back, the B12 was way too high so now I just take the sublingual. I also take Iron (for menstruating Women it's a must), Calcium, sometimes when I remember I add vit E, Biotin, and vit C..oh and a probiotic.

I actually am pre op and bought the opurity by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury I gave its stats toward the beginning of the thread. Seems comprehensive will be discussing it with my dr tomorrow. The taste wasn't tooooooo bad may need to test a few to find the one I like not that I won't be using all the others cause of the cost.

Caltrate is Calcium carbonate. I was told the best calcium for us is calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is the same thing in tums. It's not easily absorbed by RNY patients.

Citrical is the most popular brand of calcium citrate but so far I haven't found it in chewable form. For now I'm taking the Bariatric Advantage calcuum citrate chewable lozenges. It's like chewing a big chunk of chalk. Blech!!!!

The Dr, dietician and pharmacist know and said those were great to take. Maybe each Dr is different on their preference.

Why do you take prenatal pills?

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
