Vitamins

Do you take them? I haven't found any that I actually like so I have been avoiding them. I used to take a prenatal vitamin before the band because it was easier on my stomach now I don't know what to take. I attempted those chewables YUCK!!! I'm gonna give the vitamins another try but do any of you know of a small sized vitamin that won't need to be chewed?

I can't do the chewable one either. I went to GNC and bought an "Active" pack. My problem is two of the pills are so big I can't take them until late afternoon. Nothing worse than getting one stuck!

I ordered the opurity band optimized vitamins from Unjury. I tried one yesterday and it tasted nasty, so I don't think I am going to use them. I prbably will go back to my adult gummy vitamins.

My doc said to start the adult chewables on Friday which is 8 days after my surgery. I bought the gummies. :)

I tried the chewable Multivitamin and would gag every time. It was disgusting! I went to Vitamin world and got liquid multi & Calcium. They aren't bad. It's like taking a shot and you're done. You have to keep them refrigerated so it tastes better cold.

Good luck!

I actually like Flinstones multi. I cut them in half and chew 3 halves thruout the day. I keep a little container in my purse with those, fiber chew tabs, and biotin chewables.

I tried the adult chewables by Centrum and ... well, let's just say the bottle is still full. YUCK! There is a very good liquid viatamin by Balanced Essentials ... pricey and doesn't taste good. I would take it as soon as I got out of bed ... I would stumble to the refrigerator and down it before I could wake up and taste it. LOL But now, I take Vitafusion multiple Vitamins for adults ... they're delicious! And VERY reasonable at Target.

Hope you find something that works.

One a Day makes a small Vitamin, about the size of an ibuprofen tablet. It is called One a Day Essentials. I buy the store brand, Kroger, at Smith's.

It has 100% of the RDA for the B Vitamins and Thiamine.

I was taking the Flintstones and didn't mind them, however, I recently bought the Bariatric Advantage "Band" kit. The multi's are actually pretty good and has a lot more Vitamins in them then the Flintstones.

But all in all, I take multi vitamins, calcium, Vitamin C and Iron, all chewables.

i'm doing Flinstones, and caltrate D, chewable, and b-12 under the tongue, it's not that bad..

for future reference do the gummy ones go down ok? I was concerned it might get stuck.

I take Gummy Vites. i couldn't stand the chalky chewables. I also take extra Folic acid and Vitamin D, but they are very small and can be swallowed easily.

I get mine from www.betterlife.com. They are Adult's Chewable Multivitamin, Pineapple, and I actually think they taste pretty good. They are dense and not chalky.

I love my vitafusion gummy vitamins. They r delicious. I take 4 instead of 2 because they r soooo tasty. No stuck issues. I also ordered vitafusion fiber n calcium gummies n can't wait to taste them.

I actually just crush up a Men's One a Day in a mortar & pestle and add it to my protein shake in the morning. Seems to taste okay

Have you tried Caltrate Soft Chews? I buy the Chocolate Truffle flavor and they taste great! :)
