Rosa:

After my gastric bypass surgery I am taking multivitamins, chewable multivitamins. I learned that since I am not having the liner on my stomach anymore the nutrients–the way they used to be done, absorbed, now it has to be done through your saliva. So, it has to be chewable and I am taking Centrum, multivitamin Centrum.

In regards about any drinks with protein, I have not tried them because it’s like, I am not supposed to drink half an hour before I eat or half an hour after you eat. So I just try to just drink regular water, but I take my multi chewable vitamins, and also, I come to Dr. Dahiya’s office to get my B12 shot, and although I take my calcium chewable, the ones I take, they taste like chocolate. They are good.
