Vitamins post Roun X

[Chad]

Does anyone have a good resource for the “life long” vitamin supplement we are supposed to take?
Thanks

I take this. My main reason for using this one is that it’s a once a day multivitamin. I haven’t had any post op blood work yet, so I cannot attest to how well it works. ProCare Health "1 per Day!" Bariatric Multivitamin Capsule with 45mg Iron

I take Optisource Bariatric Chewable Vitamin and Mineral Supplement. You chew 4 day. You can pick them up at Amazon for less than $30 and get a 15% discount if you "subscribe" and have them sent automatically on a monthly basis. When you have your follow up appointment, you can ask your surgeon or doctor what they recommend.

I take a woman’s one a day 2 gummies
Have had blood work done and have been perfect.
My surgeon doesn’t see the need for a ton of pills or bariatric vitamins.

I ended up with Gummies because that was what agreed with my system,
I tried all varieties and finally found the gummies. I didn’t have burping, Nausea, and I can take without fluids, and not skip any days because I didn’t want to have an upset stomach my Dr said perfect let’s just keep an eye on your levels and they have been great so we have stuck to this plan

I'm curious: why gummies?

A number of members take them, but I've also read cautionary posts against them.

Group: did your nutritionist mention gummies? Or did they express a preference?

I should say I'm a label reader and made my decision based on that and solubility. I avoid capsules except the ones I take with my daily coffee.

I honestly can't remember if it was my doctor advising against gummies or I read it somewhere but I heard the same thing advising against them. However given Aface's situation and has doctor's approval and as long as the lab levels are within normal range, sounds good to me. But if anyone is contemplating gummies, you might want to just check with your doctor first.
