Can you tell me what vitamins you will be taking and the dosage, because I am confused. I would like to buy at the stores. I already bought sublingal Vitamin B12 500mg and perfect iron. That is all now, I will buy some Flintstones Complete tomorrow. What are you taking. Dr Inman is my Dr. I'm schedules on January 8 for surgery.

I just had my surgery on the 19th. Have you been to the pre op class yet? They give you a list  and schedule for meals liquids and vitamins. Very helpful. They gave me a shot of b12 so I do not have to worry about that one for a month. I take a complete multi, calcium, iron, d3 ,probiotic. I think that is all of them....

Why are you buying Flintstones?  You need a good adult multi, at least the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery says you do.  They also specifically say you need a multi with minerals like selenium, which Flintstones Completes do not have (despite the word complete on the label, they are not truly complete at all).

You'll also need calcium citrate (not carbonate).
