I am 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I am wanting to know what vitamins I should take? Does anyone have any advice on the subject?

Congrats first of all!!

Prenatal vitamins
B12 (possibly)
Calcium
Folic Acid

I would call your WLS surgeon and your OB and have them confirm - but these seem to be the basics!

But do we absorb regular prenatals or should we be lookin for chewable or liquid? That's what I worry about most!

Congrats, Mama!

I am taking the generic walmart brand prenatal (swallow) and it says right on the box easily digestable. I had RNY and am absorbing it great!

I am still awaiting a call from my surgeons office. But I am taking natures Bounty pre-natal vitamins along with my b complex and calcium 2 times a day. I just wondered what other people were taking? I just want to provide enough nutirients to the baby and myself. Thank you for the advice!

I took these after our doctor recomended them because I was very stressed and had no energy. look at the FAQ page passion4lifevitamins.com/faq.html

it as a bunch of different ingredients and its qiuck because its a liquid vitamin too. plus the big thing for us was the the right price..
