Was wondering if they give you a list of brands and doses that are recommended.

I know I feel like the reps in the health food stores are talking another language and ramble on about different things.

I left Healthy Planet this weekend feeling baffled!!!!!

They are too expensive !! Go to Costco if you can but honestly Walmart carried most of what we need

I use:

Multibonita ( multi vitamin containing 19g of iron)
Jameson B12 strips ( only need 1 every two days)
Bariatric advantage calcium citrate ( bought at the hospital pharmacy as I left)
Vitamin D from GNC chocolate flavor ( but Walmart carries that too

If you need anything else the nurse will inform you

Good luck !!

Hello! 

I take a Multivitamine, Calcium Citrate with Vit D and a Vit D by itself. Right now. I wasn't told to take B12 is that something that everyone takes after the surgery?
