My surgery is Thursday and I'm getting overwhelmed!! Sooo many options for vitamins. Recognizing everyone's tastes are different, I'm hoping to gauge what most people tolerate well that's affordable so I can go buy/order online for my arrival home. Thanks!!!

i got all my vitamins in liquid form. a mutlivitamin with Iron, b12, Biotin ( for my hair), super b complex , Vitamin d3 and Calcium.

I did liquid vitamins for the first four weeks after surgery: multivitamin, calcium, and iron -- plus sublingual B12. For the liquids I used Wellesse brand (available via Amazon and other places) and took a double dose.

After four weeks I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's, Citracal Petites (although I think I am going to change to Celebrate Chewables), generic vitamin D, and Jarrow's Vitamin K2. I still do the liquid iron since that's what I seem to tolerate best. My labs have always been great.

I was the exact same way!! What I ended up settling on was the Centrum Chewables (since it's the only one I could find that had all the Vitamins and Iron together), and the Solaray B-Complex chewables. Also for the calcium, I use the Bariatric Advantage Chewable Calcium Squares. As per my research, my nutritionist, and my surgeon, this combinations covers everything.

Wish you the best!!!

Many thanks to you all. I was advised to stay clear of liquid vitamins until 6 plus wks for fear of me not getting it all down in addition to my protein...but it is my preference. I will go with chewables for now and see how I respond post surgery.

I have been using chewable and gummies and it's been fine. It's like my "candy" throughout the day.

I have tried a number of calcium chews. They made me sick as a dog. I wish thier was a liquid calcium.

@@Josh2xh there are all sorts of liquid calcium out there, here is just one:

My nurse told me calcium citrate is easier on the tummy versus calcium carbonate. Maybe look into this??

really..thats strange. my nut and dr both recommended it because i could add them in my protein..so its like two birds with one stone. plus liquid vitamins aren't filling. but everyone is different. good luck

Is there a liquid vitamin that I can use that is a multivitamin? That has everything that I need to take?

@@Krystal0528 I used the Wellesse brand multivitamin, a double dose. I did still have to take additional calcium and iron, both of which I took in liquid form.
