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 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.< /p>

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 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.< /p>

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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
