Vitamins post op?
Vitamins are necessary - I'd hope that your surgeon would have given you this info already considering you're only a few weeks out!
The ASMBS recommends a multivitamin with 200% of most vitamins and minerals. In addition, calcium CITRATE (I take 500mg three times a day). Other things like B12, D, and iron based on lab results.

We are still in the early stages, but we will be cash pay, so the process will be a bit quicker I suppose. We meet with the doctor again next week for egd, etc. Just trying to get my head wrapped around it all, and a list of questions/concerns ready for the doctor. I appreciate your reply and the helpful link!
Gwen...What is the name/brand of the multivitamin that you are taking that has 200% of most vitamins and minerals? I am taking a gummy multi right now but it has nowhere near that amount. Now that you mention it, I do recall my nutritionist telling me that my multi should have 200% of most vitamins and minerals. Thanks in advance for your help. :-) Kay

Nope. It doesn't seem worth the risk.

the newesrt studies show for most people you need to take the same supplements as the rny but a lot less than the ds
2 daily vitamins does not need to be chew able but the are absorbed better
1200 mg calcium citrate divided into no more than 500-600 mg at a time
I take a iron pill but did pre surgery also
65-80, gm protien bases on your body size , 65 + oz water
