Question:
Are Weight Smart or Carb Assist vitamins good for post ops?

I am wondering if Centrum's Carb Assist or One a Day's Weight Smart vitamins would be absorbed and of any special value to post ops. I already take a chewable multivitamin, chewable calcium citrate, and sublinqual B-12. Has anyone noticed positive results from taking either or both of these? I have the nutrition information on both if anyone wants to see it.    — Ann B. (posted on August 1, 2004)

Can't tell you about your vitamins, but my surgeon has me take 3 Flinstones vitamins in the AM and 2 Tums Ultra (for calcium) every PM, can't take both at the same time, he said vitamins will counter act calcium..... Hope this helps you...

It seems like most food and drugs now are on the "low carb" ban wagon, trying to sell their product. I think it has more biotin in, you can tell by comparing to others. I find the generic or dollar store vits are comparable. Remember you pay for the advertising. I personally take 2 chewable with iron, 3 chewable calcium total (1500gm) 1 sublinqual b12 and 2 extra iron in form of Vitron C. 1 B complex, 1 B6 1 biotin
