erlo54 9 Posted July 11, 2014 3 weeks post op and doing great with absolutely no problems so far. Started Vitamins and Calcium this week but still undecided what Vitamin to go with long term. I'm currently taking 2 Celebrate chewable Multi Vitamins a day and 3 Celebrate Calcium capsules (crushed) a day. I will definitely not get Calcium capsules again and will probably go with a Calcet and/or caltrate in the future. I am considering opurity Vitamins available at unjury.com for future use since they are a one a day chewable. Opurity does provide slightly less in some vitamins but don't really think it's enough to make a difference. Any comments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted July 11, 2014 I've taken Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's and Wellesse liquid Calcium since surgery. My labs have always been great and I don't miss paying tons of extra money for special "bariatric" Vitamins. One thing, if you are looking at Calcet or Caltrate make sure you are getting calcium citrate, not calcium carbonate. That is something that sleevers need to be very aware of! Calcium carbonate doesn't work well for us. 1 une nouvelle vie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calcium carbonate doesn't work well for us. Thank you for this information. I'm 2 weeks out and just saw my surgeon yesterday. They said they don't want me to start Vitamins (except B12 - I got a shot) until my next visit in 2 weeks. Still, I looked at some of the "bariatric" vitamins and they do seem pricey. Do you take a sublingual B12? If so, may I ask which one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted July 11, 2014 @@une nouvelle vie I take Trader Joe's sublingual B12 2x/week. I used to take it every day but my labs showed my B12 was super-high so I cut it back. High B12 levels aren't dangerous, but I figured, why waste money taking more than I need? (yes I am very cheap!). 1 une nouvelle vie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macman 603 Posted July 11, 2014 I take the opurity Vitamins in Orange berry Flavor. I like them because there is one tablet a day and the ingredients are China Free. Quality of ingredients is an issue with some products and I like that they guarantee quality. They are pricier than some others but I am a big fan of Unjury products and am very pleased with the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
