Thanks for posting. I keep asking and asking my NUT for a better recommendation, and they keep saying "just take two Flinstones." So, I'm doing it. But, based on this article, I'm going to pick a major fight at my appointment next month.

I couldn't believe my nutritionist recommended Flinstones! And then, ready for this MARGARINE!!!  Trans Fat, heart stopping, GMO Margarine! Also, Microwave processed crap (full of BPAs) I was flabbergasted! This from a respected large hospital around here. Please do yourself and body a favor and get a whole food liquid multi-vitamin unless you are able to tolerate swallowing regular, if so, get a whole food multivitamin. Eat organic olive oil and real butter NOT MARGARINE. And, NEVER eat out of or heat in a plastic container. Try not to eat a lot of preservatives either.   Sorry for the rampage, it's not wonder America is so unhealthy. Our food is full of processed garbage and pesticides. Then we have the medical community telling us to eat it. Oy.

It works if you work it; it sorta works if you sorta work it; and it doesn't work if you don't work it.

I don't know if this article is correct or not and was written in 2010 but remember is also for the "bypass" and not the sleeve.  We do not have the vitamin defiencies that they have.  I personally don't take Flinstones, I take Centrum Chewables but I would do further research before i went against my doctor's recommendations.

Which multi is recommended, then? Centrum Silver?

FWIW, I take the CVS version of Centrum Senior.  Cheap and they often do 2 for 1.  Very good vits.
