Hi gals ;)

I'm 15 months out of VSG surgery and am happily newly preggo. Yaaaaaay! 

I've been on celebrate multis w/iron, twice a day. They have enough folic acid and iron and all the other stuff. Only worry is the vitamin A is 200% and I've read too much Vit A can be a big problem. I don't see my Dr for another 3 weeks at my 7wk ultrasound. What vitamins do you all take?? 

Thanks!

I'm post RNY--I take the same vits I have all along--2 bariatric advantage multi vits, 3 calcium, 1 b-12 and Iron---we did double my iron at 24 weeks when they do a check of all pregnant women's iron because it tends to drop.

I'm post RNY (22 months) and my team kept me on my regular schedule (vit D, iron, vit C, calcium) but had me exchange one of my 2 multis for a prenatal.  So I take one multi and one prenatal now, in addition to the others. I also started a DHA (Omega 3) supplement.

I'm 2 years post-op RNY. I take 4 of the gummy prenatal vitamins, a chewable vitamin D, a sublingual B12/B6/Folic acid, 1 or 2 Iron w/ Vitamin C (depending on how my stomach feels), and 2 chewable Calcium with Vitamin D.

My dr. Had me stay on the same vits, as all my labs were good, and things were working. I take two centrum complete, extra calcium, iron, b12, and d3. She didnt seem concerned about the extra vit a, as absorption probably limits things some.

 

i did do a fresh round of nutritional labs as soon as i found out, and am repeating again at 24 weeks (when i do my routine mid pregnancy labs).
