taking a multi-vitamin
I'm 6 months post op, I take calcium (2x's daily),zinc,biotin,b12 daily, Can I go back to taking a multi vitamin, before WLS I took a great vitamin I found at Sam's club that had antioxidants included in it. I would like to start taking them again. Its very hard to get a hold of my Nut. Thanks for any replys!!!
You're not taking a multi-vitamin now? You should have been doing this all along. In fact, you need TWO per day after gastric bypass --- in addition to all the other stuff you already listed. Actually, I'd increase the calcium to 3 doses per day so you're up to the recommended level of 1500-2000mg/day. I also take a B-50 complex.
Here's the ASMBS Bariatric Nutrition Guidelines. Check out the chart on page 7 and it'll tell you what you need to be taking at a minimum based on your surgery type.

Pam I'm soooo sorry about this, I forgot to list that also, Sometimes I have an occasional brain fart and I guess I had one when I posted this message! I'm taking a Flintstone's chewable 2x's a day, I would like to go back to my adult multivitamin that I was use to taking. I am going to take your suggestion and up my calcium. I'm checking that link to that you sent as soon as I'm done posting here.
