I am in the process of ordering my Vitamins so I have them all here when I get home from surgery. There are so many options!! For those of you who have already had bypass, did you have trouble with any of the chewables? I think that would be easiest for me, but there are so many different ones I have to take that I just wonder if it will be hard to manage. Some of my options come in a powder to be dissolved, but I don't know if it is worth the trouble. I would love to hear your stories and also know what brands you prefer for each type.

My dr wants me to take two multis, 1 Calcium citrate with D, 18 mg Iron, and sublingual B12.

Thanks!

I posted the recommendations from my surgeon in the pre-op board. His philosophy is expensive does not = better.

The only ones I pay more for are the calcium. I get them from a local nutrition store. I take 3 chewables a day and the brand is Celebrate. The rest I get at Target/Walmart. I get generic Flintstones complete (has the iron already in it), Vitamin D3 capsules, and sublingual B12.

Optisource at Walgreen is a chewable for post op bariatric surgery that has both your vitamins AND calcium! !

I personally think, tablets have their own advantages over chewable Multivitamins. So in my suggestion, you should go for B-12 Vitamin tablets only.

Chewable shave been a bad struggle for me so my doc put me on tabs. I do not like anything sweet at all, it makes me gag. Hurts my new belly.
