Buying vitmains online
I have been buying my vitamins at my doc but they are. Very far away so I am looking for an online resource to order them. From. I prefer chewable. Thanks!

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.

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.

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)
