I just had Gastric Bypass this past week and need some help with Vitamins.?

I've been strict on drinking water, diet Cranberry Grape juice and some green teas without sugar or alternative sugars. I've been feeling ok but I really want to get started on vitamins as soon as possible. The Dr. recommended chewable or liquid. I'm thinking chewable will probably taste better so I think I want to try that first. I have already been on B12 injections for about 6 months because I came up deficient after being anemic. So I know I am getting that, but I am worried about the other vitamins and minerals I need. Can anyone give me some good names of cheap chewable vitamins that work? I'll probably buy them at a Wal-mart or local drug store, if I have to drive to the city to a specialty store I will but I'd rather not....

Sorry I know that's long, but thanks for any help.
The doctor sent me home with a list of instructions, that said to take chewable or liquid vitamins but I wanted to know which were best.

What pill(s) or vitamins help with acne?

I know vitamins help with acne but which vitamins do? Preferably something I could get at Wal-Mart but there is a health store here so it doesn't really matter where. Thanks in advance for any help.

Like I said, there are many vitamins out there and I do not want to just buy any brand, especially because it's a good price. Does anyone know of an reputable brands out the for "B" vitamins and a good joint health supplement? Don't say go to wal-mart or wallgreens, I would like to know which brands are the best. I went to www.webmd.com and they don't say. HELP! Thanks!

I'm looking for a VITAMIN that will help me loose weight?

I'm not looking for a diet pill, I know those things are messed up...but is there a natural vitamin that I can buy from a pharmacy in Superstore or Wal-Mart that will help me loose weight? DO they sell Acai vitamins becuase I know that lots of diet pills contain this ingredient in them, so it must do something...Also, I heard about some type of tea (Mulberry Zaccerin?) that might help...any suggestions?

What's the best multi-vitamin for a woman like me?

I am 22, I work out three times a week, I eat mostly healthy, and besides seasonal allergies and the occasional cold sore, I am in good health. But I do know that it is still important to have a good daily multi-vitamin :). Any opinions on what's best out there that I can get in any store such as Wal-Mart? I am ok with swallowing big pills too if needed :). Thank you!
Why would I take anything pre-natal? I looked up pre-natal on wikipedia and it concerns care for a woman that is pregnant. I'm not pregnant.

Is taking Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) 800IU & a Men's One Daily good for a 32 y/o man who exercises?

I recently bought a Vitamin capsule from Wal-mart that is listed as "Calcium 600mg with Vitamin D" On the back of the bottle it lists its components among other things:

Serving Size 2 Tablets
Amount Per Serving %Daily Value
Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) 800 I.U. 200%
Calcium 1.2 g (1200 mg) (as calcium carbonate)

Other Ingredients: Corn Starch, Maltodextrin, Croscamallose Sodium, Coating [hydroxypropyl methylecellulose, modified corn starch, polyethylene glychol, magnesium trisilicate, mica (color), titanium dioxide, dextrose, sodium, carboxymethlcellulose, mineral oil, sodium citrate, polysorbate, dextrin and glycerin] and Magnesium Stearate. CONTAINS SOY.

No Gluten, No Added Preservatives, No Artificial Flavors.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 2 daily, For best results, take one tablet twice daily.

Ok here's my question:
Is there a danger to taking this along with a Men's One a Day vitamin?? Am I overdosing on Vitamin D? Am I not getting enough? Am I taking the right kind of Vitamin D? There are two forms of Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol and Ergocalciferol)

I would like to avoid getting osteoporosis later in life, and also it is rumored that Vitamin D helps you avoid some cancers. Not sure about that one though.

I have been taking these for 3 days now, but only one tablet. The reason why I want to take extra Vitamin D is because I do not drink enough milk and I do not regulary get outside and get enough sun.

Additional information about me.
I do exercise my lower body every other day by doing cardio exercises(running jogging about 3 to 5 miles every other day along with some strenches) I weight about 205 and I am 6'3 and about 6 to 10 pounds overweight according to the Body Mass Index for my height, but if you looked at me you'd think I was skinny. I do however realize I have some upper body fat I could lose by doing push-ups and sit-ups. I will be changing this. I started out at 240lbs in January and have lost 35lbs since then by walking/jogging and eating less. I have never had any of my bones broken in my life. But I am not sure how much Vitamin D I have taken at the start of my life.

Thanks for taking your time to read all this and help me understand better.

Best shampoo and conditioner for my hair?

My hair is brittle and almost coarse feeling (I am white, so it isn't really..I think) and feels dry. It's not really frizzy, and seems damaged but more dry, I think. I put in a leave in conditioner to make it soft and my hairspray is supposedly enriched with vitamins to replenish all hair types (suave extra hold 7). I guess thats all, and the shampoo and conditioner should be one found at a CVS or wal-mart or any other store like that. If you know a straighening cream or any other products that will help my hair type look better then please list them too!

Where can I find gelatin free or kosher vitamins?

Im looking for vitamins that do not have gelatin in them. The vegan vitamins pricewise are bordering on ridiculous. Kosher vitamins would be ok. Ive already been to every drug store, kmart, wal mart, target and no luck. Any suggestions?
