Vitamins

[She's_Sleeved 93]

Now that I am officially a "Sleever" and 4 days post-op which type of Vitamins should I purchase? I was self pay and wasn't required to see a nutritionist so any advice is welcome!

Centrum chewables, b-12, and Biotin if you want...some people also take tums with Calcium

Every day I take: 2 Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's, 1 Citracal Petite, and a double dose of Wellesse liquid Iron. I did liquid Multivitamins and Calcium for the first four weeks. Oh and 4x per week I take a sublingual B12, which I get from Trader Joe's.

I was told to take a high potency multi with minerals 2xs a day for the first year, then once a day thereafter. A B12 sublingual- 1000 mcg, 3xs a week. calcium citrate (not carbonate aka Tums) with Vit D- 1500 mg a day. Iron 65-120 mg.

Sounds like a lot but it boils down the this for me: I take Calcium 2xs a day, 2 Flintstones chewable w/ Iron a day and B12 a few times a week.

I take a Women's Multi-, and then a Calcium. They are both gummies. Most stores have them.

Personally I would check into bariatric Vitamins for the first 2 months. Bariatric Advantage, Bariatric Fusion or Celebrate Vitamins, they are geared towards bariatric patients. Your not required to take "bariatric" vitamins but I highly recommend them. Also make sure you are taking Calcium and b-12 melts. I took liquid calcium I got at the Vitamin Shoppe. Oh and I know that wal-greens does carry a bariatric Vitamin. Which when on sale you can get it BOGO half off. Good luck on your journey !!
