    I used Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins for the first four weeks after surgery. I took a double dose to meet ASMBS standards. After that, I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency Chewable Multi's. For the first year after surgery I took a double dose, then switched to a single dose as I was able to get more nutrition from food.

    Trader Joe's are lower calorie, lower carb, and cheaper than every bariatric specialty mutli-vitamin I have checked out.

    I have had my labs drawn regularly throughout this process and they have always been great.
