Vitamins - So Many Choices

[RammerJammer 81]

My surgery is 4/13 and I'm so ready to start my new journey. I'd bet that this question has been asked a million times here, but I would really appreciate advice as to the best Vitamins to take after once I'm able to after surgery. Are there specific ones you like/don't like? I'm all about saving money, but I'd rather focus on putting the right vitamins in my body over saving a few dollars.

My nutritionist has given me a requirement list showing the following. I will be required to take a chewable Multi-Vitamin daily like Centrum or Flintstones. I'm also required to take the following daily -

27 mg of Iron

350-500 mcg of B12

3000 IU of D3

1500 mg of Calcium

What do you take or what would you suggest? THANK YOU!

I got a script from my doc for a Vitamin d that you only take once per week. The basic grocery store variety is fine though to take daily. THey are pretty small gel caps.

Iron can also be bought over the counter in your store brand. That is just a standard dosage. Longer gel cap. My doc recommends taking Vitamin C with the Iron to help with absorption. I got my doc to prescribe a chewable.< /p>

For Calcium and my Multivitamin, I take opurity. I buy mine through my docs office, but you can also get them online. Better than the Flinstones for bariatric patients.

I don't take B12 right now, so i don't have a suggestion, but I am pretty sure you should be able to get that from your regular pharmacy as well.
