Any body have any ideas on where I can get post op vitamins for a cheaper price then getting them from Bariatric Advantage?

Trader Joe's High Potency Chewables - two a day (one with breakfast, one with dinner) - meets the ASMBS guidelines except for molybdenum and is much cheaper than specialty bariatric vitamins - and most other regular multi-vitamins as well.

I get all of mine OTC. Centrum makes a chewable multi with Iron. I also have a sublingual b-12 and gummie b complex and gummie Calcium. The Vitamin d is a small soft gel. All of these I get at my local walmart or grocery depending on who has something on sell.

I hope this helps. I don't have issues swallowing any pills, but the nutritionist insisted they be chewables or gummie to have the most nutrients absorbed. Makes sense. You also have to wait between the multi with iron and calcium for 2 hours because they should not be taken together.

I use bariatric advantage because my doc sells them. However, my doc has told me that I am welcome to shop for vitimins anywhere and suggested costco. Just compare lables and all is good.

Thanks guys for your help

My NUT recommends taking 2 Flintstones Complete chewables per day as well as additional calcium CITRATE (i.e., Citracal - need 1000 - 1200iu/day). It is helpful for absorption to take iron and Vitamin C together. It is not helpful to take iron and calcium together because they go against each other. For Vitamin D, the safe upper limit is 4,000/day.

There are 50,000 it vitamin d. And you take once a week.

Me with having several autoimmune diseases I take high doses of d3 for therapeutic reasons. I was taking the 1 50,000 once wk on top of 10,000 daily..now that my script expired I take the 10,000 daily. That's just me an I alternate some wks more some wks less..I have to keep my levels around 80 to keep pain lil lower...if I don't use this regime my level gets down to single digits...I go by a lot of my recommendation by Dr mercola. ..but everyone is different that's just me...I've done My research an I go by how my muscles feel. Some bark at this amount an some agree. ...main stream drs have their own personal ideas....maybe something you might be interested in researching. For me only taking minimum standard requirements wasn't doing it for me...this is per my rhumey. ..for me..

You no longer need a script for the 50,000. I bought mine online for $30.00

Great! Thx: )

I got really nauseated with the multi vitamin , anyone else have this issue ? Should I take these a different way ?

I experienced the same with the Multi-Vitamin. I eat something then take the pill or crushed pill.
