Congrats on your upcoming surgery. My surgeon recommended the chewable Bariatric Advantage multi-vitamins to begin with. You chew 2 a day and they are rather large so in the beginning I really had to space them out - I usually have one about 10 am and another about 3 pm. I ordered a 2 month supply to begin with. I like them - they taste kind of like Flintstone Vitamins.

I would perhaps start out with a 30 day supply just to see how they work for you.

My nutritionist told me to wait on the Patches till there is more research. She joked since we take Vitamins the rest of our lives there will be many advances. I currently have barimelts for B12, Vitamin D, Biotin and Calcium. I still taking a capsule for my multi Vitamin but purchased powder I can add to Water while I'm on liquids and puree.

I got the Patches esp after the surgery pre eating phase, worth it for piece of mind. Looking back I would not be able to have eaten much for the first month, so it was a good fit , better than taking nothing.

I use the Patches.

B-12

Biotin plus

vit D and Calcium

and Multivitamin

i haven't had my bloods done yet since my surgery was only last week, but the PA at my first post op visit said her patients who use them have all had good levels.

I went directly to PatchMD.com and Got a discount for 40% off if I auto-shipped when I received my first order it was a great price

if I can find the code I'll post it

I think it was spring40

      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? 🤷‍♀️
