Liquid vitamins

[Tilly Kaye 20]

Does anyone take liquid vitamins instead of the chewable ones? I had a sample of this one at costco and it looks like it would be good. http://www.ecodrink.com/ecodrink-daily.html. Maybe it would be good to drink in addtion to the chewables? Looks like Ecodrink make a priobiotic too. I'm still preop and am trying to come up with the best way to get my Vitamins. I take a bunch now (have for years) and just want to get the most out of what I take.

I would get the go-ahead from your nut. before buying anything. My nut specializes in bariatrics with a focus on Vitamin deficiency and she is very clear that our Vitamins need to be designed specifically for bariatric patients. All vitamins are not created equally and since our bodies don't digest and absorb things the same if you aren't taking the right stuff you might as well not take anything.

I had RNY in 2005 and have had a large weight regain. I am having revision surgery and I am with a completely different surgeon and nut then from before. I have had a lot of trouble with vitamin deficiency because I was taking stuff like Centrum, Citracal, regular Iron and B12. None were bariatric specific and now I a lot of problems specifically with Vit. D.

Every doctor and nut has different beliefs and approaches so I suggest following the rules you were given but also do your own research.

I has Vit. K, and I was cautioned by my NUT not to be taking that during the time of surgery because is affects blood clotting.
