Am I supposed to start chewable vitamins now? If so which ones does anyone recommend?

I started when I went home but so many variations with what the dr'a want we see on here. My nutritionist said Flintstones complete 2 a day chewables. The complete she said have the Iron and I wouldn't need to take straight Iron then unless by some chance layer I needed to as indicated by my labs. I keep thinking I'm gonna graduate to adult ones soon. :)

I'm taking only a chewable Multivitamin. I was told to start now. The first two weeks after surgery, I am told only worry about getting in the Water, Protein and multivitamin, we'll talk about the other Vitamins at my 2 week appointment.

I take Centrum chewable. I was told no to gummies, Flintstones or any womens Vitamins. However Centrum chewable doesn't contain selenium so I had to supplement that. I also had to take vit d, b1 & B12 following surgery. Started taking Iron & Calcium 2 weeks post op.

Per my dr, the Iron in the multivitamin is not sufficident and they recommend an addtl 30/day or 60/day for menstruating women.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
