Just wondering for those who were preggo (or pregnant) after RNY, which vitamins did you take? How much calcium was recommended? Did you take a special prenatal vitamin? Up your B-12? A million questions, but just want to be safe when I start TTC...thanks!!

2 multivites, 2000mg calcium, up the vitamin D to at least 25,000 IU (no, I'm NOT kidding), at least 1,000 mcg B12 a day, heavy duty iron, and strongly recommend a b-complex, b-50, or b-100 daily.

With that said, labs EVERY 8 weeks.

Just! did a post today about that.

Thanks Andrea. That's almost what I'm taking now. Are there different kinds of D? Which one do like the best, and can it be taken with anything else? I am glad there is some D in my BA multi because I haven't been taking a suplement.

Nope. I've only had labs done once so far. I did ask my dr. to do a full vitamin panel to make sure everything was ok though. i've been really tired lately.  i'm 2 years out and i just had my first b12 shot this month. the dr. said that my b12 was a little low but that she doesn't think i'll need a shot every month.
