What vitamins and how much?

I am scheduled for open rny on 5/21. I met with the nutritional counselor for the first (of 3) time this week. I was very disappointed, she didn't seem WLS knowledgeable. Which surprisd me becuase my surgeon recommended her. Anyway, I know about how much protein/fats/sugars I should get post-op but what about vitamins? I hear people mention children's chewable (w/ or w/o iron?) and also if I take the childrens vitamins do I still need to take a calcium supplement? I take Synthroid for hypothyroidism and I thought someone had mentioned not to take them together, is this right? Am I missing anything? I want to take this time to also say how thankful I am for this site. I have learned sooo much, you people are wonderful for sharing your stories good and bad. Best of luck to all of you! :-)
