Before surgery I was taking a multi Vitamin, B-Complex and Calcium (all chewable) and am supposed to be taking them after as well long term. Unfortunately I have forgotten them too frequently of late and need to start back again. Thanks for the reminder all, it might have something to do with my hairloss recently.

I take an optisource chewable 4 times a day as instructed by my surgeon. (It is specially formulated for people who have had weighloss surgery). Six weeks post OP I will take one a day. I also take a chewable Vitamin C daily. To keep the bugs at bay. The Optisource Vitamins are available at Walgreens.

Wow, thanks guys for all the great responses. Now looks like I need to be researching Vitamins choices! If anybody else has reccommendations on the type to take, keep 'em coming! Thank you!!

They asked me to start on a Multivitamin at my first pre-op visit, and suggested Flintstones chewables. I take the Schiff chewable multi -- similar to Flintstones I imagine.

Those Vivactin orange creamsicle Calcium chews sound yummy -- I think I'll go hunt some down.

I also take chewable Vitamin C's -- I keep them at work and nibble on a couple as an afternoon snack. :) Gotta love the Optifast diet, when you turn to chewable Vitamins for snacking purposes.
