After Gastric Bypass Vitamins & Meal Replacements ?
I’ll be having the surgery really soon. I know that I have to take a multi vitamin, calcium, B-12, meal replacement shakes, & protein drinks. What are some good cost efficient brands out there to buy. I’ve been told on how important protein is in order to keep hair from falling out, so I want to make sure I get something that works well!! Thanks!!!

I had GNC liquid vitamins, the protein shakes, I got from
Unjury.com and then I bought the Atkins Advantages from Walmart and they are really good. The doctor’s office said you could take Childrens Flintstone Vitamins, but they were loaded with sugar and couldn’t handle them. There is a drink call Special K Protein water and that is good, it has 6 grams of fiber in it, it also comes in the packets like Crystal Lite does and I have some of those. The nutritionist will give you a list, some of the brands they use. The lowfat yogurt they use is something you really have to read the labels, most of the light are loaded with sugar….I was told anything under 7 grams of sugar or less. You will get accustomed to read labels. Good Luck!!!
