What Vitamins are you taking post op? Did you start with one type ie. Chewable and then move to regular ones if you could tolerate?

I am trying Centrum Chewables..not a fan.

I started with Wellesse liquid multi's for the first several weeks after surgery, then switched to Trader Joe's High Potency Chewable multi's -- low calorie, low carb, and much cheaper than most any other chewable multi's. I did a double dose for the first year then switched to a single dose. My labs have always been great. They taste fine -- kind of a very mild citrus type flavor.

I'm taking the Optisource bariatric vitamin. They are a chalky orange flavored chewable, but I can tolerate them fine

I am taking Bariatric Advantage multivitamin, started with the chewables, 6 weeks out and I now take the capsules

@@dkrause I started with chewables in the beginning but now I rarely take anything. My labs are perfect without vitamins so my surgeon said its not necessary since we still absorb what we need through the food we eat, assuming your eating properly.

I'm using Patches from PatchMD. My nutrition recommended it but I'm getting my full blood work at the end of the month so I'll be able to know if they're working.

I take Flintstones Complete. Yummy!

Bariatric Advantage chewables and they're awful. I'll be buying a capsule/tablet soon.

I take Bariatric Support Chewable Multi by Twinlab. They actually aren't that bad! I've tried other brands but this one is my favorite.

Flintstones complete is what my NUT recommended.

My doc recommended the patches from PatchMD when I went for my 8 week appt this week because I have so much nausea now after I take PO vitamins. I am going to order some when we get back from vacation!

I am taking Centrum multi chewable. I used to eat them like candy before the surgery, now they give me a bit of acid reflux. Hmm.. I am curious how the patch man is gonna come out with labs. If they are fine, I may consider doing a patch myself Does the glue irritate your skin?

I got my patches in today and I put one on since I had not taken my multivitamins yet. They even sent me the Anti Age ones for a free trial. Hope it works great!!

I ordered the bariatric advantage multivitamins but as of now, I just can't handle them. Maybe later on down the road I can. I take 3 Flintstone's multi, 1 calcium chew with vitamin D, liquid B12 as of now and my NUT said I would be adding iron soon. I made a whole reminder schedule on mysmart phone and just keep a spare baggie of a few items in my purse incase I am out.

Hi all, I been using multivitamins from PATCHMD.com. My NUT & PCP reviewed my blood work and advised me to cut the patch in half. Apparently my body is absorbing everything well and now I have to much. I'm way over on D3 and few others. Let's see what taking half does for me over the next 2 months.

For anyone interested in trying the Patches, I attached a 40% code.

It's definitely a lot easier than spending $50 or more dollars a month on pills.
