I took two chewable Trader Joe's High Potency multi-vitamins each day at your stage. One in the morning, one at night. You do have to take Calcium and Iron separately if you want/need those minerals. My labs were always terrific. Plus, the Trader Joe's Vitamins are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any specialty bariatric Vitamin.< /p>

My surgeon recommends Centrum chewable Adults. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. They are not terribly expensive and my blood work has been good (9.5 months out so far).

I use Source of Life liquid Vitamin for three years recommended by my fabulous educator, a compound pharmacist. It is on Amazon, not the average store. Our pharmacist has a great health food store. Tastes good and a bottle lasts forever.

I like the opurity Vitamins, the only one out of several I tried that I could stomach.

My surgeon recommends Flintstones complete. Make sure they are NOT the Gummy type. I will be taking 2 a day after my surgery. These are made for children and they really taste pretty good.

They are all disgusting. I cannot wait to be able to swallow pills again. I had the melts a couple of chewables and a liquid. They are all so terrible. The flintstones are the easiest but just try to make it quick because none are going to be good is my advice!

I also take the Bariatric Advantage Multi EA chewable. They are ok thought they would taste better. Going to ask my Dr at some point can I change to everyday Vitamins from CVS instead of having to get them on line for the rest of my life.

They are pricey the Bariatric Advatage Mutlivitamin.....m

My Dr also recommended Celebrate Multivitamin --MULTI COMPLETE 45-----it includes the MVI! B12, Vitamin D and IRON....it is cheaper and also a Capsule...I am going to try them after I finish the other ones. If anyone has tried the CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN..please let me know if they are any better than what I am taking now. Thanks

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
