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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
