Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, and Unjury all sell chewable vitamins.  There isn't any reason that you need special "bariatric" vitamins, though... the Chewable Centrum, available at Walmart, Walgreens, grocery stores, etc. for about one third of the price, are just fine.

I also buy from Amazon. They tend to have the best prices. I like the Centrum chewables.

If you looking for cheap vitamins, cheapskate, you might consider nabbing Centrum chewables when there is a $3.00 coupon available in newspaper coupon inserts combined with an advertised sale at discount stores like Target, Walmart, and Walgreens.  The purchase ends up a final price of around $5.00 for a bottle of quality vitamins.  If you want an online source only, the Bariatric Advantage or Unjury websites are, indeed, good choices but be prepared to pay significantly more than Centrum.

What vitamins are you all on?  I'm pre-op, and my doctor said they recommend a chewable drug store multivitamin.  I'd been under the impression that RNY patients have to take a number of different pills daily for the rest of their life.

I only took my multivitamins chewable for first 3 weeks. I take more than the list below, but are related to my lab levels and I am over 3.5 years out. Most of my vitamins, I buy locally from Walmart, Target or CVS. There are 2 that I order online. Your surgeon's office should give you guidance on what to take. 

 

2 multivitamins daily (I take generic Centrium silver- no iron)

1500-2000 mg calcium citrate daily divided into 500-600mg doses (store brand)

B12 sublinguinal, dose will depend on your levels (store brand)

dry Vit D, dose will depend on your levels (VitaLady.com or Vitacost.com))

iron, dose will depend on your levels (carbonyl iron with C from VitaLady.com)
