Multivitamin suggestions
I take the Centrum Silver, or the store brand equivalent. We don't need vitamins specifically made for bariatric post-ops, but I get preferring them. The reason the BA vites are so costly is because they're made specifically for bariatric peeps. A normal good quality multi will provide everything we need at a lesser cost, though we may need bumped up dosages of some vitamins or minerals based on our labs.
I take Centrum Silver because I prefer to take my iron separately.
I don't take chewables usually, but at times, I do.
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

"Normal" women are recommended 17 -19mg/day (via NIH).
Women who've had WLS should get 50 - 100mg elemental iron per day (via ASMBS).

Keep in mind, that's just a recommendation. Some take less, while others take several times as much, and it's still not enough.
We all need to have regular labs, and track the results.
