Re: Gastric Bypass Vitamins

  • Thanks so much, ladies! I will be looking into it!
  • I use the Celebrate vitamins since I had the RnY, and we compared them and found out they have twice as much vitamins as the prenatals we found (except for calcium and folic acid which I take separately).  So for now, I keep taking the ones I was taking before (I should say that I'm also almost 2 years post bypass so my absorption is higher than someone who just had it).
  • I had RNY 19 months ago and didn't even think about taking 2 prenatal vitamins instead of one.  I won't have my first apt for several weeks since I just found out I was pregnant a few days ago but I will start taking 2 until I got to the doc.  Do you take 2 at a time, or one twice a day?
