I take Citracal for my calcium requirements. I take Centrum for my multivitamins. I take Sam's club brand sublingual vitamin B12.

I take centrum complete multi vitamins and bariatric advantage calcium melts. Make sure calcium is seperated at least 2 hours from your multi vitamin, Iron interferes with its absorption. Unfortunately this means you have to take them on a schedule (I have to do 2 multi’s a day and 3 sets of 2 calcium pills).

I’m not sure if chewables have better absorption or not.

I've been using vitamin patches from bariatricpal that work well. I get insanely nauseas from the smell of the chewable vitamins now so I have these a try.

Yes that one plus calcium twice a day so it’ll b 2 pills

Just curious if you are still liking the patch?

Keep a close eye on your vitamin levels as despite all the positive reviews on the sellers sites, independent examination of the product showed that they don't work because they can't absorb through the skin properly (unlike at nicotine patches) and that the weight of the patches is less than the weight of vitamins they say they provide.
