Help Vitamins, out of the loop

Hello everyone so I've had surgery over 2 1/2 years ago but never got any follow ups because I moved out of Ontario, I'm just wondering if someone from the Ottawa region where I got surgery could tell me whats Vitamins (brands) they are now telling patients to take with quantities

 

Thanks for all the help

PRENATAL VITAMINS WITH IRON. WAS JUST AT THE 1 MONTH POST OP MEETING TODAY

Hello
The best option would be to get your bloodwork done and see if your deficient in anything. As an RNY I was taking
2 centrum 50+ chewables
2 feramax iron pills
4 1000mg vitamin D
4 calcium chews

Here's an approximation of what I take at the moment. I don't have the handout from OWMC with me at the moment, but this is pretty general information:

NOTE: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that any of the gummy vitamins contained too much sugar and other fillers and to stay away from them.

• Centrum Chewable Orange Multivitamin -- 2 per day, available at Walmart in the USA, not in Canada (I can still take this at 6 mos. post-op); many Canadians take the Centrum Silver Chewable and that does the job just fine.
• Webber Naturals chewable vitamin B12 -- 1 per day, available at many stores in Canada
• Bariatric Advantage Calcium Citrate 500 chews -- 1500-2000 mg per day, available through ordering at Amazon.com or from the Bariatric Advantage website
• Webber Naturals vitamin D -- 2000 iu, available in Canada (or any of the other various brands, as long as I take 2000 iu per day)
• Iron (because I'm always super low) WITH chewable vitamin C -- right before bed to maximize absorption
• my regular prescriptions (for arthritis and hypothyroidism)
• a prescription PPI (for me, Lansoprazole) to reduce stomach acid (I have a sleeve and I have to take NSAIDs for the severe arthritis, so this PPI protects me)
• other, as needed items to help my digestion and to keep my bowels moving! Many of us have trouble with that and some of the remedies I've seen that work are: Milk of Magnesia, Docusate Sodium or other stool softeners, Miralax, Senakot or Senna pills or other pill form laxatives, smooth move tea, inulin fibre, Metamucil, and probiotics.

That's a pretty accurate list for me personally. But everyone is different and I would suggest that you talk to your centre to find out what is the absolute best regime for you.

I hope this helps you.
