Most doctors recommend the Flintstones complete. 2 times a day my surgeon doesn't even start you on Calcium until your 3 months post op and Vitamin B12 at around 6-8 weeks post op. They haven't said anything about Iron. I guess I will find out Wednesday

I buy my Vitamins from Celebrate Vitamins. It's a kit. For 3 months of all the vitamins I need is like $140. I have chewable Multi Vitamins which also have the B vitamins. A Calcium plus D supplement (start 6 weeks post op) and a B complex I take twice a week. At 1 week post op my surgeon gave me the clear to swallow my pills. :)

That's the same protocol as my doc. The flint stones each have a fairly high Iron content so mine doesn't require additional iron unless yours gets low.

My doc recommends 2 flint stones complete and B12 in the morning. Flints tones are cheap and I bought the B12 sublinquals when it was BOGO free at my supermarket. So....very cheap there for Vitamins. After 3 weeks, we start calcium citrate. I chose chewables I found at the Vitamin Shoppe for about $15 for a months worth. Doc wants us to take 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening. If you can't find an affordable chewable, our NUT has told us that you could dissolve the Calcium citrate tab in Water to take it if you can't tolerate swallowing it. Hope that helps.

YEP! And you can order a sample pack (3-4 days worth) for $3. I kept track of the flavors that I liked and disliked.
