Calcium
Bariatric Advantage makes calcium citrate chewables. The best flavor is the caramel.
This is what my surgeon's office recommended to me. Make sure you get the 500 unit chews and take three per day. The also sell chews with only 250 units, so you'll end up having to take more.

My surgeon didn't give me specific instructions to take any calcium (in addition to my regular multi's) right after surgery, and said we'd wait and see how my labs looked at my one-month post-op checkup. I drink a glass of milk every morning, and apparently that's good for now since my calcium levels are OK, but he said that we'll check again in another two months and I may need to go on supplements at that point.

Yep, Calcium Citrate 3 times a day as well as a high quality daily vitamin. I also take B12 every other day (because my levels have been low in the past - pre surgery).
