I’ve started with the Flintstones with Iron. I have B Vitamins in a meltable tab for under the tongue. Then there’s chewable calcium citrate with Vitamin D. I had a bypass, other surgeries have different requirements. I might have to change up my vitamins when I get blood work done. Right now I’m seeing if the Flintstones is ok for me. I would call your dietitian. At my center they kind of run the show.

Your surgery center should provide you with a list of Vitamins they like. Mine did. Bariatric vitamins are available over the counter, so no need for a prescription. I ordered mine from Amazon, but you can get them here on Bariatric Pal. I was told to take the chewables for the first month, but they made me gag and got stuck in my teeth (I tried two brands) so I switched to the capsules after the first two weeks.

The Bariatric Pal Store sells a year's worth of one-a-day bariatric Vitamins & minerals (with or without iron), including B-12 and D-3 vitamins, for $99. It's the best deal going. You get the whole year's worth in the first shipment. It's an easy to swallow capsule which dissolves quickly in the pouch.

I've always used OTC Vitamins. Just make sure they meet your clinic's requirements.

Different clinics will vary drastically on this. I have heard of people who take Vitamins anywhere from flintstones to CVS to bariatric. My clinic insists on bariatric. I take pro cate health bariatric Vitamin with Iron. It’s a capsule and it’s one a day supply has the same as bariatric advantages chewable that I had to take twice a day. Early out I took the Bariatric Advantage because it was chewable.
