I've seen D3 in a sublingual form and also a chewable. Either of these should be okay for rny patients, right?

Yeah. Except if the sublingual is a liquid, I would read the ingredients to make sure it's not made with oil.

What if you're more than 2 years out and not malabsorbing anymore? Can you take the oil pills then?

Even after two years, you may be malabsorbing fats to some degree. If you feel sure you're not, then yeah, the pills in oil would work. I can tell you that, at 3.5 years out, I do still malabsorb fats to some extent. This is gross, I know, but I can tell when I poop. If someone wants a more detailed explanation, I'll give it, but I'll leave it at that for now.

Kelly ,you are the vitamin and supplement Queen! Thank you for keeping us all informed and healthy. It seems everyone I know personally automatically gets that script for 50,000 after their 2 week visit post op. little green footballs:) lol now I can get the correct ones OTC to be absorbed. I got my B12 sublingual today :) by the time I get my 3 month lab work done I should be in good shape! I just need to get the correct iron carbonal tomorrow:) I got my multi and calcium citrate so I should have it down packed this week. I printed out your schedule to follow:)

That's 'cause most people are vitamin D deficient before they ever have surgery. All the people I know that haven't had WLS that have had their vitamin D tested were low - my mother's was only 15, and my sister's was something like 50. I suspect the reasons for such widespread deficiency are that people spend so much time indoors and wear sunscreen if they are out in the sun for long, and that we tend to eat lousy diets. But I also wonder if all the pollution in the atmosphere interferes with our ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight and I wonder if all the chemicals and stuff in food interfere with the vitamin D in food.
