Hard to believe no one has posted on this forum....Happy Easter

I was wondering if anyone had advice on the best Vitamins to get. I have plenty, but I am concerned about whether they are strong enough or whether they are they ones i should be taking.

Appreciate it.

Thanks,

Les

Hi Les,

Did your surgeon recommend any Vitamins? I will be taking bariatric vitamins from a company called Building Blocks, as per my program's guidelines. I'm sure that you can order from Building Blocks online...just a thought.

Take Care,

Hi Lisa,

My surgery is scheduled for 4/7/10 and I researched weight loss surgeries for 8 years (not kidding!). I am glad that I waited for the VSG because it really seems to be the best fit for me.

I'd be happy to chat anytime and you will definitely find LOTS of info on these boards. Good luck with your process:thumbup1:.

Hi there and welcome.

Here is a Vitamin comparison chart that was compiled by Jill from OH. She took the time to research the most popular multi-Vitamins used by bariatric patients. Just click on the little spreadsheet icon. You do not have to sign in or sign up for anything to view the spreadsheet.

I have been taking the last Vitamin listed for almost 2 years. It's the GNC Solotron with bioavailable Iron. I love it because it's chewable, and my labs have been fabulous post-op with my band initially and now my sleeve. Once this last bottle is gone of my GNC chewies, I'm switching to the Twinlab multi that is listed on that chart.

I ordered all my vitamins/supplements from Buy Discount Vitamins, supplements, Low Carb and More at www.Vitacost.com with the exception of the GNC.

My flax seed, Omega 3s, Calcium citrate, and I'll be ordering my Twinlab from there as well.

I also order my husband's Protein mix from there because of the flat rate shipping, and excellent customer service I've received from them. Plus, their pricing is really great on many products. I place one big order, and it's here within 3 days.

Thank you all for your help. I think I have it figured out now.

Thanks again,
