Vitamins

What are all you post ops taking for viatmins?  Are you taking a regular one (like centrum) or a specific wls one like bariatric advantage? Anyone add extra calcium in? I know I am waiting for my 2 month labs, but I have read on another board how important calcium is and it seems like a majority include it in their daily vitamins.

I haven't added any calcium yet I get lots in my diet but am waiting on my 2 month as well. I am still taking the centrum chewables . Plus building blocks iron 30 mg in the afternoon.

Hi  I  am  taking a freddie  complete (childrens chewable) 4 citracal petites 1000 mcg  b-12 sublingal once a week 50000 vitamin d  once a week We don't  get labs done  till out six month check up. I am three months out. have a great day Patty P

i take  womens multy vit (walmart brand) one a day - with 18mgs iron- one day mornings calcium with vit d-I  get a buds shop n save-one day night b12 sublingual- sundays I got checked at 6months and doc said dont change nothing everything was great.

Hi Tanya, I take Resource Optisource Bariatric Formula Chewable Vitamins.  I have taken these since day one and have never had any problems with my blood work. The only downfall has been I have to order on line or drive to the Walgreen's in Windham to get them but it is going to get better because we have a Walgreen's opening near me in a few months.

geesch will you post a new pic of yourself-you look fantastic, and this is the ol' autie glasses!!

I know, I know.... I need to download some pictures...

My Surgeon recommends the Centrum chewables.

Tanya, In the morning I take: One Centrum Chewable (orange flavor) One 325 mg Ferrous Sulfate Iron One 500 mg Chewable Vitamin C tablet (was told by my nut. that this helps me absorb the iron) One 5000 mcg Biotin (for my hair and nails, been takign it since Ronda told me about it here) Two 400 mcg Folic Acid And I was taking One 2500 mcg sublingual B-12 until recently when I had my 18 month labs, Barb (my nut) told me my B-12 levels were very high and I could stop taking it for 3 months In the evening I take: Two 500 mg Sugar Free Calcium Chews with Vitamin D & K I was told not to take my iron and calcium together because they cancel each other out. ~dori~
