vitamins post op?

[star8282 12]

So my first appt doc told me to get flint stone complete chewable and now the bariatric coordinator is saying to order bariatric specific Vitamins...

What do you use post op?

I used Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins for the first four weeks after surgery. I took a double dose to meet ASMBS standards. After that, I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewable Multi's. For the first year after surgery I took a double dose, then switched to a single dose as I was able to get more nutrition from food.< /p>

Trader Joe's are lower calorie, lower carb, and cheaper than every bariatric specialty mutli-vitamin I have checked out.

I have had my labs drawn regularly throughout this process and they have always been great.

Recently switched from the Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin. Now I take GNC Women's Ultra Mega One Daily (but I take it twice a day per the dietitian's orders). They recently had a 50% off sale and so I bought 5 months worth! Watch out for sales.
