vitamin suggestions

Hi, Folks:

Me again.  Since I am having revision/repair surgery, I need to get serious about my vitamin supplementation.  I confess that I haven't been taking them for a while, but realize that it's pretty stupid to not take them. 

I am hoping that you wonderful people will have some suggestions as to your preferred vitamin regimen, brands, flavors, chewable v. pills, etc.

Any help you can provide would be great!

Thanks,
elizabeth

Your doctor should have you involved with a Nutrionist .  Your NUT is crucial to future sucess and good habits.      Your current bloodwork may determine what you will need.   

Chewable vitamins      Costco chewables
B-12                Trader Joes       smooth now gritty like bariatric advantages
D                      Any brand
Bariatrict Advantage Lemon flavor    Calcium Citrate chewables

Protien suppliements      Trader Joes vanilla and chocolate  taste natural      EAS great price at Costco..    I add sugar free flavors to the vanilla      Nectar Fuzzie Naval natural flavor.

Start today   Good luck and good health.

Yes... you definitely need to be talking to a nutritionist who will give you details of the vitamins you should be taking.  Here's mine:
I use Bariatric Advantage.  They are made specifically for WLS patients... they are absorbed easily. 
They are a bit more expensive but I decided it's worth it at least until I reach my goal.  My labs at 3 and 6 month were perfect.  I use the Orange flavored chewable multivitamin, the cherry chewable calcium citrate, Dry vitamin D, B 50 Complex and Sublingual B12.  My nut. told me those were the specific ones I needed.  I buy them at Nashua Nutrition online....

Free shipping when you buy $100 or more.

... and my favorite Protein drinks are Syntrax Nectar Fuzzy Navel and Roadside Lemonade.  I don't like the milky ones...  I buy the Nectar at Nashua Nutrition or BestPriceNutrition.com.

I do agree with the others, talk to your dr. & nut.

Here is what I take & my regimen.
Solar Ray Twice Daily multi energy, iron free - 1 with breakfast & lunch
Citracal petites with D - 2 with breakfast & lunch
B-12 any sublingual - depends on the dosage I have bought but usually every other day
Vitron C for iron/vitamin c - at night before bed

I use the EAS chocolate protein

What are you revising from and to?  That will also determine your needs.  I also advocate doing some of your own research as some surgeons and nuts, unfortunately, are not all that up to date on current bariatric nutritional needs.
