Folks, take your vitamins and don't take over the counter stuff. You will not absorb it. Take vitamins that are for bariatric patients. You should get capsules and open them and put them into a shake or something you can drink, or take liquid vitamins. I have also seen vitamin patches on line. I had my RNY 21 years ago and suffering from malnutrition right now, mostly because things have changed so much from when I had my surgery, I just basically didn't know any better, and thats my own fault. I should have stayed up with a bariatric doctor after my doctor retired. Gummy vitamins and calcium wont cut it either. Buy the good stuff and stay healthy
