Vitamins, Vitamins, and more Vitamins

My surgery is scheduled for 2/18/16 and I'm trying to get everything ready for my big day. I was instructed to order my post op Vitamins and it's so hard to decide. What vitamins is everyone else on?

Also, any suggestions on things I should keep in my house that I will want post op? Trying to be as prepared as possible!

    What are your specific requirements in terms of being able to swallow pills versus chewables versus gummies? I was allowed to swallow whole pills 7 days post-op, so I never had to deal with chewables

Thank you all so much! I did order the nutrameteix multi and calcium. The big day is Thursday and I'm trying to get all my cleaning and shopping in order!

My doctor had us start our vitamins during our 6 month diet program. Flintstone chewable with iron, Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D, (I order Bariatric Advantage on Amazon) and B 12 Sublingual. I only have issues with the calcium. I feel like it's to much to chew so I suck on it for a little bit to soften it up.

My prescribed pack came finally...even had my b12 nasal spray....nascobal....all my vitamins for 25 a month and a daily food. Water. Vitamin log included in a zippered bag.

Tell me more please. Where do you get your vitamins for free with the nasal spray?

Has anyone tried the Vitamin Patches through the Bariatric Pal store? I'm also wondering if I should start them now, surgery is in June.

My NUT told me to take a simple one a day before surgery and then get the proper vitamins after surgery. I haven't tried that patches, but hear good things. Ask your NUT what vitamins you should be on now.
