How much protein and vitamins should you take and is there a limit as to how much you get ?

You minimum daily requirements will depend on they type of surgery that you undergo.

For me as a gastric sleever I'm supposed to get 60 g of protein a day but it's okay to get more and you can't get too much. I also have to take Vitamin D, Calcium, a Multivitamin, and Vitamin B12 as chewables each day.

Isn't it true to more protein you get the quicker you will heal? That should make everyone want to keep the totals high.

I had the sleeve. My goals are to get a minimum 60 grams of protein and 60 fluid ounces a day. For vitamins I take 3 calcium/vitamin D chews during the day, one multivitamin with iron at bedtime (Procare Health). I also take 10mg of biotin at bedtime and a high dose B12 twice a week. Sorry I cant remember the dose of the B12.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know if I had the gastric bypass if i can do capsules instead of chewables at some point?

For sure! I have Bypass and use BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE "1 per Day!" Bariatric Multivitamin Capsule with 45mg Iron. Ask your surgeon but you should be fine with a capsule. I was taking them the week after surgery without any issues. All surgeons allow Bypass patients to take capsules 30 days post op.
