If you are RNY you need multivitamin, calcium, B12, and possibly iron. Sleeves need multivitamin, and B12 (this is vital). They are seeing some sleevers with B12 deficiency. I was a Sleeve to RNY. I noticed pain in my toes, of all things, my Neurologist put me on B12 shots. Pain in toes was gone. He explained to me that anyone who gets their stomach cut can be deficient, affecting the central nervous system (hence the nerve pain in my toes), but still have normal B12 levels in their blood. I though I was being silly telling him about pain in my toes. I am glad I did. It would continue to get worse and possibly be permanent.

Uh, my nutritionist recommended Flintstones chewables as one of our options. I'd say talk to your surgical team about what's recommended for you, OP.

Your vitamin needs will vary depending on procedure, age, weight, gender, deficiencies, etc. The dr can probably give you the best recommendation but also do some research on your own. Personally, I'm taking a bariatric vitamin and a gummie multi that has a high does of B12. Six months from now I'll probably just take a general multi vitamin unless my doctor suggests otherwise.

The reality is when we're all able to "eat normal" we should be get most of our nutrients from fruits, vegetables, lean protein, beans, nuts, etc. I'm personally against taking any supplements or prescription pills unless absolutely needed. The SCIENCE behind taking supplements doesn't support the claims in most cases. And since I had the sleeve and not a bypass I should be able to get most of my nutrients from food eventually.

And if your doctor recommends getting a "good chewable" multi, then just find one you like and take it. And no Flinstones is NOT candy. They might not have as much nutrients as some other more expensive vitamins but all you have to do really is read the label. Especially if a nutritionist recommends it there's probably some nutritional value there.

I'm taking a multivitamin (I just switched from a soft chewable to a pill), sublingual B-12, iron, liquor vitamin D and a liquid calcium magnesium citrate. My dr and NUT said no gummies. I've learned that almost every dr is different as far as instructions. You just need to follow what your dr and NUT tells you.

Everybody is different, be sure to ask your dr. I had sleeve, and I take a prenatal vitamin, vit D, and iron.
I take pills now.
When I was first out, I had a centrum chewable (silver) and liquid iron.
I've never been told about B12. I'll ask next time.

I personally use Bariatric Advantage. After a year out I may switch to a little less expensive brand but these work great for me! Vitamins are so VERY important, it is a little disturbing to me that you were only told to get a good chewable multi! What about all the rest!?
I would hate for you to find out how important this is the hard way.
Talk to your surgeon & NUT like everyone has said, but know that yes your supplements are very, very important

Centrum makes a chewable.vitamin for women. Hard to find in stores. Finally found it on Amazon. The ones in stores I found did not have iron
