Prenatal vitamins after bypass

[mmy 62]

Was wondering those of you who got pregnant after RNY what type of prenatal Vitamins were you taking? And in what form? Have you be advised to take liquid prenatal Vitamins? I read that liquid Multivitamins are 98% absorbed while the tablet/pills/capsules are O lye 20%_30% absorbed..

Vitamin tablet vs. Liquid Vitamins

Sometimes it is hard to determine how much is hype or a marketing ploy. Here is a good discussion on this controversy. http://www.allstarhealth.com/blog/products-and-ingredients/tablets-capsules-liquids-powders-chewables/

I take a liquid one that I got from sprouts, it doesn't taste uber pleasant but I prefer that to the pills for sure. However, many of the regular Vitamins we have to take post-op mimic some of what is in prenatals, so I know for me it was only minor changes to my daily Vitamin routine. Though I had to stop taking the two prescriptions I was on.

I prefer to take the liquid forms of the meds too as you can always mix them in with your food or drinks. I think it is just whatever your personal preference is.
