Fallen off the vitamin wagon

I had RNY a 8 years ago and I need to get back on vitamins and a good protein shake. Anyone have recommendations or can you point me to previous posts/posters for good info? 

Thanks in advance 

I am just getting started with my journey. However I do like the premier protein shakes. I have tried the chocolate and the Stawberries and Cream. 30 gms of protein and only 160 calories. very low almost 0 carbs

At present l purchase my vitamins at Walmart,  but my next trip to Costco l will get them there. 

For protein, l go to Popeye's.  Vanilla Cake and chocolate peanut butter are my favourite and versatile for smoothies.  

Why a protein shake?  Are you severely underweight or not able to eat dense protein?

Drinking calories is OK right after surgery when you are unable to eat, but after eight years you should have no problem eating your calories.  I quit all protein shakes when I had a regain at three years out.

It is unclear to me what you are requesting. Do you want brand recommendations or "what to take" instructions?

if you have been off the "vitamin wagon" for awhile, my first suggestion would be to have a full set of labs drawn to see if you need additional supplementation to what the ASMBS recommends.

Thank you for the responses. I figured since I've been away from the forum and my vitamins for a while that there may be a new set of products or new info and this would be the place get pointed in the right direction. 

NHP is right;  get your labs first so you have your baseline, then do what you need to do to get your levels to their proper place.

You should be able to take any of the available OTC vitamins and supplements but be aware that you should take D3 (dry only, not oil-based) and a sublingual B12 or even better a sublingual B-complex (I've found a good variety at Trader Joe's which melts very quickly under the tongue).  

Also, use Calcium Citrate, not Calcium Carbonate, because Calcium Citrate is absorbed better.

Definitely talk to your PCP about your results and the steps you need to take in order to stay healthy.

Have you had labs done by your doctor?  It maybe helpful to find out what you're lacking in and consult with him/her to determine amounts.

17 months out I am taking 2 multi, B12 complex liquid, iron, vitamin C, 3 calcuim, 2 vitamin D.

I do have a protein shake almost daily as I don't get protein in with food alone.  I had hair loss for 12 months, so I HAVE to get 80-100 grams of the protein.

I am taking vitamin d liquid gels? Is there something better? 

Not sure about the liquid gels, but I take a dry D (BioTech D3-50) for 50,000 IU per capsule. These can be absorbed sufficiently by RNY folks. I started per my doctor's direction at once daily, but am now at 2x per week.
