Does this seem like a WHOLE lot to anyone?

I am one week post-op and my surgeon has me on the vitamin regiment he expects me to stay on permanently. I am supposed to take 12 (not, not 2, 12) Flinstones Chewables a day 4500 mg calcium citrate and he wants to start with B-12 injections and not consider sublingual. Also, in addition, we are supposed to do FIVE protein shakes with 30 grams each. Every day. I know we should follow surgical recommendations and so far, I'm being really good but they're making me awfully sick and it's more than double what I have seen anyone else take. Just for the record I had a MEDIAL gastric bypass, but this is more than I've seen even distal patients be expected to take. Please help. I am scared of developing a vitamin deficiency, but my common sense is telling me something is odd about this....
