I just had my 7 hour nutrition class my surgeon requires. What brand of Vitamins did you use immediately after surgery and what are you using now? Please be specific.

Multi-vitamin: Vitaleph (which I have been using since pre-op as recommended by my surgeon)

B12: MyKind spray (started off using a sublingual, but my nutritionist wanted me to switch to a liquid)

Calcium: Citrical Maximum +D3 (initially used the Vitaleph brand that's the same as my multi-Vitamin, but switched after that first bottle ran out)

Probiotic: InSync

Those are the Vitamins my surgeon/nutritionist required. In addition I take my grocery store's brand of Vitamin C, coq10, and extra D3. I also take NOW Foods brand Omega 3.

Breakfast:

Bariatric Advantage Calcium Calcium Chewy Bite chocolate or Caramel flavored, & Nature Made sublingual B12 Vitamin 1000 mcg Cherry flavor.

Lunch:

Centrum Chewables Adults Orange Burst (has Iron in it).

Dinner:

Bariatric Advantage Calcium Calcium Chewy Bite Chocolate or Caramel flavored

Flintstones complete! Its the one specifically recommended by my surgeon's office. I don't like the generics so I stick to the real Flintstones brand. I think its funny because Mom would never pay for the brand name Vitamins when I was a kid, but now I get them at 44!

pam

Multi - Centrum Silver or the generic equivalent

B12 - Superior Source

D - Superior Source

B Complex - Integrative Therapeutics

Calcium - a mix of Upcal D, Bariatric Advantage chews, and Walgreens calcium citrate tablets

Iron - Vitanica Iron Extra

For my Biotin I take hair skin nails with 5000mcg http://www.wrapitwithemma.itworkseu.com/

There are various Vitamins, you can use, but before consuming it you should take a suggestion from your doctor regarding it. I do not use vitamins, but as per my knowledge Vitamin C supplementation is highly recommended by experts. It helps promote healing and it is the key nutrient required for making collagen, which is what heals your tissue together.
