[stefanie0804 36]

I'm with the Toronto Western hospital Had my surgery appointment (they didn't have dates to give out that day). So just preparing myself for post.

My nutrition class was so long ago, and I'm refreshing going though the book, and preparing my self to buy Vitamins, was at Wal-mart yesterday and I'm actually having trouble finding what they are asking for in that book.

The Calcium i found 1 chewable candy (not sure if thats gonna be okay post op) but i cant find a "decent: Vitamin/Mineral with 1000 daily and iron/copper requirement

What did everyone else use?

1. Vitamin/mineral with 1000 daily recommended intake and 18mg Iron and 1mg coper Take 2 tablets/ chew-able

2. Calcium 500mg – 600mg 1tablet or chewable

I bought the vitamin patches through the BariatricPal Store. They worked well. Now that I can tolerate pills I use take care of which is a Vitamin subscription. I pay about $35 a month and they are delivered to me.

I use the Tespo all liquid Vitamin system, They have a formula that's for Women who have had Bariatric surgery. Its a little pricey, about $100 for the dispenser and $45 monthly for the pods that are mailed to you.
