Jdserra 78 Posted October 23, 2016 Besides the Advanced Multi EA chewables & calcium citrate Chewy Bites (500mg)...what else do I need to meet my Vitamin requirements after surgery? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sai 785 Posted October 23, 2016 My program is a multi-Vitamin that contains 200% of daily value of most nutrients and 100% Iron, 1200-1800 mcg Calcium citrate, B-12 500 mcg daily or 2500 mcg weekly Optional for me since I wasn't low in any of these Vitamins (but I take them anyway): 2000-5000 IU Vit D 2-4 grams fish oil (I take krill oil). Every program is different though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeM 50 Posted October 24, 2016 I did just read about the B12...you can't take too much. Also, I was told I didn't need to start for a couple weeks after surgery. And, you'll need to time your Vitamins, you can't take them all at once. Kind of a pain. I sometimes forget. I eat Breakfast...wait 1 hour take multi, wait one more hour take calcium citrate, wait about 30 minutes take b1 and B12. Then after lunch....one hour take multi and another hour take calcium citrate. At bedtime I take the Iron. I wonder if anyone else does this. I was told you'll get sick if you take them to close together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdserra 78 Posted October 24, 2016 Hmmmm interesting! That schedule is crazy!! LOL. I was just planning to take the chewys during the day and Multi Vitamins at night since I also have to take thyroid meds in AM which can't be taken at the same time as the Multi vit. I think they have a B12 spray they offer. I'm gonna check that out. Just wanna have everything I need at home for the first few days after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
