CVS\Eckerd Multi-vitamin Help

Can anyone tell me which multi-vitamins I need to purchase. My surgery is Tuesday and I'm trying to get everything together. I went to both CVS and Eckerd and don't know which vitamins to get. They have different ones to choose from. Somebody/anybody help me please! I need to know the exact name, color bottle, etc..... I also brought the 1000mcg B-12 vitamin, does anyone know how often we're supposed to take these? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tonya, My surgery is in 24 days and I have been using the Centrum Chewables - 1xday. The nut. said these were fine and I only need 1 / day! YEAH! I got mine at K-Mart. Good Luck. Beth

Thanks Elizabeth, Did your nut say it would be ok to continue those after surgery? By the way, good luck with your surgery. We're on our way to the losing side

Yes! Of course I forgot to mention that you shouldn't take them for 2 weeks before surgery. Something to do with the vitamin E in them. The only thing missing from these is Selenium, and that is a trace metal. The nut. said that we get enough of this from our foods so not to worry.

Thanks elizabeth, I'll give the Centrum a try after surgery.

Tonya, I just saw my Nut. Wed. and she told me to take 2 flintstone chewables a day. Good luck. Lee Lee

Centrum Chewables? Where do you find these?

Maybe the protocol has changed since I had my surgery. The nut had me bring all of my vitamins to our final pre-op meeting so she could make sure I had what I needed. Did you get a prescription for Foltrin? If you did, that has your B-12 in it as well as your iron. I take a complete multi-vitamin that I get from Sam's. I started out with a chewable complete from The Vitamin Shoppe. I also got my chewable Calcium Citrate from TVS. They taste like a Sweetart.

Hi Tonya! Your surgery is on the 15th right? I pray that everything goes well. These are the viatamins that I've been using and where I found them: B-12 sublingual-GNC (a 120 pack lasts for 4 months!) Iron Chewable-BariatricEating.com Chewable Multi Viatam-Either Flintstone chewable or the multi viatmin from BariatricEating.com Calcium Citrate-Walgreens I take one of the B-12, and iron. I take two of the multi vitamin and of the calcium suplement. Stock up on Gas X strips and Chewable Pepcid too, you can find those at Walgreens and the Gas X comes in mint and cinnamon. The pepcid comes in mixed berry and mint. I hope this helps you. Good luck and your in my prayers!

Hi Alyssa, I get the centrum chewables at K-Mart. $10 / bottle
