Good afternoon everyone! I’m checking into a high potency Vitamin and calcium citrate what do you all recommend. I was taking Centrum for a long time but recently heard they are mostly fillers. My niece works in a vitamin store and she recommended a few I just want others input to help make the best choice. Thank you in advance. Happy a great Saturday! 😊

I've always done Centrum (or the generic equivalent) and haven't had any issues. Lots of WLS patients take them. As long as a Vitamin meets the ASBMS (American Society of Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeons) requirements, it should be fine.

for calcium citrate, I have three ways I take it --- Upcal D (a powder which I mix into things like yogurt), generic Calcium citrate tablets from Walgreens or CVS, and Bariatric Advantage calcium chews which are great for traveling or for when you're out and about and not near your regular calcium stash (I always keep a few of them in my purse for that reason).

I use opurity by Unjury for both my Multivitamin and my Calcium. A 3 month supply is $27 for the multivitamin and you only take one a day. I HATE chewable kinds but that's what my surgeon wants us to do for a while.
