Question On Vitamins

Hey guys just wondering what type and how many/much vitamins you all take in a day.
The program from my surgeon is pretty good but have noticed they don't seem to require a lot of calcium, 1000 a day. I guess that's grams. Two multis a day and B-12. I think that's it. I take some B's on my own.  They will look at my labs at the six month date. I had the gastric bypass (as the avatar tells).
Thanks,
David

I take:

1 multi
1 B-12 1000mcg

I have not taken calcium since 1 year post and my blood work is perfect.  I do take vit D in the winter

Thanks Robert.
That's good to hear I may not need calcium forever. I hate the thought of having kidney stones if I take to much of the stuff.

does bloodwork measure what calcium addresses?  seems to me it is about keeping our bones etc. strong.

I take 1 multivitamin twice a day - - that's all that was required by my surgeon.

My primary physician has me on Vitamin D pills as well, because my last bloodwork showed it was extremely low. 

No calcium of B-12?
That seems even more easy than mine. I take some extra B's to help with muscle and nerve stuff.
Thanks,
David

1200 mg Calcium Citrate (400 mg 3 times a day)
1 multi vitamin
27 mg/mcg??? iron
vitamin C (500 mg, I think)
500 mg B-12 (I take 1000s - easier to find and any excess is voided in urine)

I'm 3.5 months post-op and will have labs at six months.

That sounds some like what I'm to take. Do you have problems with iron or just added it on your own? The youth pastor at my church had low iron a couple months after RNY and they put him on iron for a while but he does not need it know.
Thanks Brian,

Iron is a normal part of the basic supplement regimen through my surgeon.  I did not have any iron deficiencies prior to surgery.  I would imagine that at my six-month labs, I'll find out if there are any adjustments that need to be made.  None of the supplements are expensive, so if they are helpful, it's no big deal.

I started off using Citrical-D which are the size of horse pills, but I had a hard time swallowing them.  Even after breaking them in half, there were little rough points on them that were uncomfortable to swallow.  I bought some Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium citrate from BJ's Bariatrics (Indianapolis area) and use a chewable Centrum Silver multivitamin and a chewable house brand Vitamin C.  Otherwise, my B-12 and Iron are house brand tablets or caplets.

I take most of my supplements in the morning.  I carry a little pill container with a calcium, C, Iron, and an anti-gallstone pill to take during the day - calcium at lunch or mid afternoon, then the Iron, C, and Ursodiol around suppertime - and then take my third and last 400 mg of calcium (two Bariatric Advantage chocolate or lemon chewy lozenges) as a sweet-ish treat later in the evening.

I use Building Blocks Bariatric Supplements (bbvitamins.com)

daily I use:

Multiple vitamins
Antioxidents
Calcium Citrate 1200
B12

I had been taking iron, but my doc said to discontinue, it is not good to get too much in your system either.  I would check with your doc before taking that.
