Hello All,

I pray that everyone is having a great Christmas.

Well I had my fifth appoinment (2nd Gastric Bypass Class). We were given information about what to expect after WLS and the vittamins needed after surgery. On the list was the vitamin Optisource, I like it because you only have to take two vitamins twice a day. Has anyone used these vitamins. If so can you give me some feedback.

Thanks

I have not used these.  I know that some vitamins (iron and calcium for one) counteract each other and should not be taken together.  My surgeons office has a regime that I am comfortable with so that is what I stick to.  Good luck and I am looking forward to seeing if anyone else has tried these!  Merry Christmas!

Tammy is absolutely correct.  Calcuim and iron are to be taken separately.   Did the NUT give you this information?    Read the information again.   Although it may the Opti vitamin have some iron and calcuim you will most likely need calcuim citrate/D & magnesium in addition to a muliti vitamin. 

Lots of information to learn.  I know a read and re read the information.

Good luck !

The information states that if you use this vitamin you don't have to take anything else. I'm going to see my nutrionist in January and I have to take her the info. So I'll see what she says also. And it is alot of infomation, I just keep reading it over and over.
