    I have surgery the same day. I bought woman's mega liquid vitamins from gnc along with a liquid b12 and a dissolvable bitotin that goes under your tongue. And a chewable vitamin d from the unjury site

  • my doctor has in our workbook that we can take flinstones or bugs bunny chewable, and sublingual B12

    I think having the WLS requires me to take a good vitamin and I won't skimp because of cost. I have a friend who is a compound pharmacist and one other person who recommended Source of Life Liquid Gol

Vitamins are one of those things where you dont want to get the cheapest. you dont need the most expensive, but the cheapest is not going to get you what you need.

try vitacost.com, they have excellent wholesale prices on quality vitamins. their house brand has always worked well for us.

At a bariatric support meeting, the person heading the group, an R.N., handed out the label for Bariatric Advantage and suggested we use this list to compare other brands against.

I bought Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins and then on recommendation I bought the Source of Life Liquid Gold. I compared the two and the Source of Life was the best, and awesome in comparison. I could hardly swallow the big chalky BA Vitamin so my husband got the BA ones, LOL. No waste! I like the ease of the liquid, and the taste is good.

I was doing Flintstones, but ended up ordering Centrum Chewables from Amazon. I have sublingual b-12 and calcium citrate chewables as well. My doctor had be begin all of them the same day I started my Protein liquids.

I looked into liquid Vitamins at my local store, but it seemed really expensive for a tiny bottle. I'll have to check them out online, it sounds like a much better bargain.

I get all the essential vitamins from vita4life off their website. The vitamins are also available on Amazon.

I buy vitamins at Vitamin Shoppe, (my probiotic) and Walmart, (multi, B12, D3, biotin, iron, calcium, fish oil). Early on I got everything I could in chewable form, now I just swallow pills. If it was recommended that you take extra iron and\or extra calcium, it is important that the iron be taken with no other supplements for maximum absorption.
