Protein and vitamins usually boil to quality and tolerance.

I LIke RTD protein like premier and EAS mainly because i can still stomach them

Many people only use bariatric vitamins and thats worth looking into, i use sams club or equate brands that boasts of being compared national brands because they cost less

Safe journey!

I was told to get my protein from food sources but starting out I wasn't using any powders. I was drinking protein shakes.

As for Vitamins, I went from taking some bariatric multivitamin that I checked out upon recommendation, Bariatric Fusion, I believe. They were okay at first but then the chalkiness just made it gross and I could taste the vitamins in the Vitamin. I bought a big bottle off Amazon. They were chewables.

Now I switched to gummies. I love those way more. They're by Vitafusion, you can buy those at Walmart, Amazon and Rite Aid. Walmart is the best bet when it comes to value though. At least to me. I take my vitamins in either pill form, by shot or the gummies.

Might want to start off with chewable vitamins and go from there since you'll be just starting out. Not sure if they'd let you take gummies so soon.
