I got Sleeve last month.
What vitamins and proteins should I get?

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my doc told me a multi-vitamin would be all I need. i'm already on calcium and vitamin d, so I will continue with that...after lots of research into this very question, I also saw people adding biotin to help with the hair loss. a lot of people take iron, but i'm not anemic and it hasn't been recommended to me yet. at my pre-op visit i'll be asking more follow-up questions regarding vitamins to make sure i'm getting everything I need.

Did you have any guidance from your team or nutritionist?

You should get guidance from your surgical team and nutritionist. Mine starts you out with a chewable multivitamin - containing at least 18mg iron and 400 mcg folic acid. Later calcium and vitamin d. But for amounts and how often to take them, please consult your nutritionist. Each doctor is slightly different.

Consult your nutritionist for sure.

Mine has me on:

2 Flintstones complete chewables

B-50 Complex

B-12 500mcg

D 5000 IU (I'm deficient living in the north)

2 Calcium Citrate with D (500mg total) TWICE a day

Whew!

I'm taking...

2 bariatric formulated chewables
3 bariatric calcium chews
2 biotin gummies
1 vitronC (iron)
1 probiotic
