Vitamin question for post-opers
YOu can get all of your suppliments OTC...at about 1/3 the price of BA products.
I highly recommend vitalady.com as one source.....also walmart is a great source of vits (really cheap). I'm not a RNYer (a DSer) but int he beginnign I couldn't swallow pills, my stomach was too swollen, so I crushed them (pill crusher is about 3 dollars) ...yeah tastes like crap but it only lasts a second.
Anyway ...Calcium Citrate at walmart is 8 dollars for 200 pills (needs to be crushed or dissolved in water).
B-12s sublinguals are 5 dollars for 100 pills at walmart
Super B complex (200 pills) is 7 dollars...they do sell the b-50s for a bit more money.....but really a super b complex is probably sufficient.
Iron...I buy my iron at the natural food store by my house.....100 pills are 7 dollars.
Michelle (vitalady) sells bigger bottles of the chewables for pretty cheap. Her gentle iron (which is chewable) is like 15 dollars for 200 pills (or something like that).
Good luck....
