the gel caps you are taking are D2, which is not absorbed well, and they are in oil, and after RNY we malabsorb fats, so you really need dry D3.
It takes me 50,000 IU dry D3 three times a week to maintain a good level, but many people are able to do OK with less than that. Apparently I just don't absorb D very well.

You can get the 50,000 IU dry D3 from vitalady.com. I would suggest buying that dose and then you can take one a week or two a week or whatever you need based on your labs. It's cheaper to take one of those a week than it is to buy a bottle of 5000 IU or 10,000 IU and take one a day, and D3 is a vitamin we don't have to take every single day because we store it in our bodies.
