So I am one of those people who has to know everything about everything. I know vitamins are probably tied with protein as the biggest deal makers/breakers of surgery. So i called up both companies and got my sample packages, and thought I'd let you know what they included. Maybe some post opers are looking to change to a powder or something, so they may benefit from this list too.
Bariatric Advantage
Iron- 18 mg Strawberry Flavor
Iron- 29 mg with vitamin C Passion Fruit Flavor
Iron- 60 mg with vitamin C Lemon Lime Flavor
Calcium Citrate- 400 mg in Cinnamon, Chocolate and Mint Flavors (Chewable)
Calcium Citrate-Wild Cherry Flavored Lozenge with vitamin D (doesnt say what mg)
Calcium Crystals- With vitamin D in Lemon Lime, Raspberry, and unflavored (does not say what mg)
Multi-Vitamin- Chewable Multi-Formula Orange Flavored
Multi-Vitamin- Chewable Multi-Formula High in Vitamins A, D, E & K Tropical Flavor
Multi-Vitamin- Complete Chewable Multi Formula with B-Complex and essential Minerals Berry Flavor
B-12 Sublingual- 1000 mcg Berry Flavor
2 chewy bites- I'm pretty sure they are the Calcium Citrate ones, one is lemon one is chocolate
I also specifically asked for samples of the meal replacements, they sent me a vanilla and chocolate, both have 27g protein, 5 g fiber and only 1 g sugar
There is a handy brochure that lists all their vitamins and the meal replacements. Which I am going to bring with me to the surgeon/NUT and have them check which ones i should take and how many.

A card- One side says "The person in possession of this card, has had a surgical weight loss procedure that restricts the amount of food that they may eat. If available, please allow them to order smaller portions."
The other side has a vitamin schedule.
There is also a brochure that has a list of some of the vitamins that should be taken and when.
