I take a Centrum chewable. My doc said swallowing pills are fine, chewables or liquid are fine for me as well. Centrum makes an adult liquid Vitamin.

My bariatric group did blood work...from that point on they had me take a Multivitamin, D3 and Calcium daily. They do that to build up your Vitamin levels and get everything balanced. When surgery comes, we don't take the Vitamins again until after our first post-op visit. About 2-3 weeks after the surgery day. I asked about Vitamins right after surgery and they said sometimes folks stomachs are very sensitive to vitamins because they can be harsh and some can't tolerate it yet. Instead they said your body has enough stored for the 2-3 weeks without you having issues. They'd prefer we took the time for our incisions and stomach to heal then start into the vitamins.

Oh and B12 will come after surgery.

I had to take B12 shots, 2 pre op, 2 post op. they also have me on a Multi-Vitamin, b12 sublingual, high dose Iron, probiotic, Vitamin D and calcium chews. When I was released from the hospital, they told to continue all (ugh!) Vitamins until my post op appointment.
