Vitamin Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for Vitamins in pill form. What do you all take? I currently am taking Bariatric Advantage Chews for my Multi, and Calcium. but i cant barely stomach those anymore. Its easier for me to just take pills.

I had RNY gastric bypass and the number and quantity of Vitamins that I take is several times that of sleeve patients. So I generally take inexpensive vitamins that I buy in bulk as Sam's Club. 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.

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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
