I take Rite Aid Brand One Daily plus Iron (i also take an addit iron on top of that, separate from Calcium, of course)  But the tablets are the size of an advil. Very easy to swallow.

I take Building Blocks bariatric multi-2 per day
BB calcium-4/day I think that is 2000mg but I am not sure
BB antioxidant
BB iron 30 mg
was taking B-12 but my levels were off the charts last week at 6 mo so they told me to stop those, actually could prob stop iron, too but want to finish the bottles.

and the Curves guy said "you girls that have had bypass surgery have the softest skin, I think it must be the supplements you all take....

Huh-tha's enuf for me!!!

lol
k

I didn't realize that one could have too much B12 or Iron. What do they say about that?

Who is the Curves guy?

it's really strange - but if you ask two different bangor patients you'll get two different answers. Where I work - there is a woman who sit right next to me who had the same surgeon 6 months prior to me - it's like a whole different program. Some of it's interpretation for sure, but this has been an issue for me dealing with "what am I suppose to do".

I take calcium 2x daily,  a regular multi 1x daily (they had us use flintstones for the first couple of weeks after surgery, after that a regular womens multi) b-12 I'm suppose to do 1x per week - but I've been doing 2-3 times per week and feeling a whole heck of a lot better doing that. No iron supplement here.

i have rny i take opti-source 4 times a day thats it rate now

Thanks David.  Do you get it online?  I just buy one daily at rite aid it has all those vitamins but at 100% of the recommended daily allowance.  Under $10 and it has 365 tablets. Only have to take one a day. But I take two of them.

I am sorry, what did you mean?  Why am I taking what I am taking?   I got sick of chewables ( the taste of the Centrum, that yucky gritty orange flavor) 

Or why am I asking?  I am just curious.  I see alot of people are not educated or even told differently on what they should take for vitamins.  We should all be taking 2 multi a day, Iron, B12 and calcium for life.  Just trying to prevent someone from getting in trouble and getting vitamin difficency.
