If you had Open RNY, you should be taking liquid vitamins or chewables. Also, your medicines should be grinded into powder form before taking them. The pills can't be absorbed in your system. Another problem is that they can clog your small opening.

I had open RNY and my Dr never said anything about liquid vitamins. I have had 2 blood test and all my counts came back great. What liquid vitamins do you recommend?

The best brand of liquid vitamin I have found is "Isotonix". They are very highly absorbable and taste great! You can expect around 90% absorption within 5 minutes compared to 0-20% with tablet vitamins. They are available on the following website: pattischmoldt.unfranchise.com You are welcome to contact me via email for more info at [email protected]

I tried all types of vitamins (my medicine cabinet is full!!!) but the only thing that works for me is Liquid Centrum I take 2 Tablespoons every morning.
