Vitamins

Good morning everyone,

Could I get some feedback on what types/brand of Vitamins everyone is taking. My dietitian said no gummy ones but the other ones are so huge. Is there a liquid multi Vitamin out there? Surgery in 1 week. Thanks! :)

Centrum chewables; learn to love 'em.

I take Flintstones complete chewable and my calcium is just a Walgreen's name brand 600mg with vitamin D (I think). This is what was recommended to me by my surgeon.

Thank you peps for the feedback! I was at the mall today and stopped by GNC, the Sales Manager showed me a women's powderd multi vitamin and said I could add it to my shakes, I'm considering trying this. He said if I buy the choc shakes I should use the choc. vitamin mix. I'll let you know if I try it and how it is!

I use Viactiv chocolate multivitamin chewables.

My surgeon says centrum chewables are fine for bandsters, that childrens vitamins aren't appropriate for adults....even if you take two of them. BA & Celebrate make multis for bariatric patients, but unless your having deficiencies of some kind, they're probably over-kill for most of us as we don't malabsorb.

My doc prescribed me a chewable prenatal vitamin to take as my multivitamin. Doesn't taste great but I heard they are great for skin and hair and I have no complaints.
