If you are talking Multi Vitamins, I get the flinestone chewables. This is what my doc recommends. I take 2 a day in the morning.

I have been using Centrum chewables from Walmart for a couple of years. Long before surgery.

I also use Centrum chewables, Walmart around 9 bucks...what my doc reccomends.

Ditto. My Dr. reccomends Adult Centrum chewables. I also take sublingual Biotin, D-3 gummies, & Fiber gummies.

Humming Bird...I really do get tired of my Viactiv and have been looking to take something different for a change (2 yrs...three caramels a day...bleck...even though they taste good..sooooo need a change).

My question...does the D-3 gummie include all the daily required Vitamins???

I dislike the taste of most chewable vitamins, but my stomach doesn't tolerate swallow-types. Then I happened upon Vita-Fusion Multi Vites, calcium chews and Fiber gummies (have major Constipation since banding). They are freaking delicious. I've never been a Gummy bear fan, but these are amazing. Check them out on Facebook - you'll see how many people rave about them. My last bottle I got was 150 count at Walgreens for $14.99. The Multi-Vites are good enough that my husband is even taking them daily (a huge feat) and the Fiber ones are even better!!!

Good to hear...thanks for the info. Shortly after my post on this thread, I went to Amazon and order The Vita-Fusion brand. Nice to hear they are a nice flavor and easy to eat. I sometimes can pick up the the Vitamin flavor and it turns my tummy.:rolleyes2:

I totally agree - I've tried the generic Gummy ones from Walgreens and they're much harder and have that vitaminy taste to them. Not palatable for me. The Vita-Fusions taste fantastic. You won't be sorry! :rolleyes2: I look forward to Vitamin and fiber time now!

I get my Vitamins and Calcium chewables from

www.unjury.com

They are made for lap band patients or gastric bypass patients and are delicious. They also do not have lots of chinese herbs and stuff in them.

They are very affordable and are wonderful!

I also get my Protein powder here and it is delicious!

Hope this is helpful!

No, the D-3 gummies only have vit. D. Someone told me that most D vits are D-2 and your body has to then turn it into D-3. I just take the D because my surgeon told me it is the most common one patients are lacking.

I take the Vitafusion fiber gummies (Target) so I stay regular. They taste great and are a very soft gummie that chew up easy and almost melt in your mouth.

If I had insurance I would go get my blood checked to see if I need to take something else. I may have ins. soon through my husband's job...... we'll see.

I dont know about the gummies, but I love Healthy Indulgence Calcium. I think they also have a multi-vit. They are a round chocolate ball. You can eat them like a piece of chocolate or let them melt in your mouth. Delicious!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
