What vitamins should I be taking?

Yesterday I went to the GNC to buy some protein drinks and started pondering switching vitamin supplements. Currently I take 1-2 flintstones complete vitamins per day. The lady I talked to said that recently the minimal recommended dosages of vitamins had changed. For example instead of 400 mcg of Folic Acid per day we are now required to get in 800 mcg. Im trying to find a good multivitamin to take daily but I havent had much luck finding one that has everything I need. I dont want to take handfuls of vitamins at a time or have to think about 2nd and 3rd dosages throughout the day. Likewise it scares me when I see vitamins with 10,000% the recommended dosage. Ive taken ones like that before and my skin broke out in yellow patches. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good multi-vitamin? Im trying to find something with a good supply of B12, iron, and folic acid. I dont know if RNY postops are asked to take more than that. Would someone share their vitamin regimin with me so I can keep my health up?
