I just get the generic Centrums at CVS ("SpectraVite"). I get the one for seniors (because I am one), but I suppose it doesn't matter. The senior ones don't have iron in them, but since I take separate iron supplements, it doesn't really matter

I used Flintstone chewable. They are a little harder to come by now because they seem to be replaced with gummy Vitamins which will not work for RNY gastric bypass patients because they are not absorbed properly.

I just attended a support group meeting about vitamins/supplements. They had several suggestions, but their favorite one (also one they are FINALLY carrying in the hospital pharmacy) is Celebrate cheweables. I actually love this brand and find them to be the least gross, and it's a pretty good value, especially considering they are formulated specifically for bariatric patients. Forest berry is my favorite flavor. :)
