I will be banded two days from now. I know after my surgery I can only take chewable vitamins. I need some suggestions to what chewable vitamins to buy. The vitamins I am on now are not chewable, so I will not be able to take them after the surgery. Also, do you guys take your calcium and multi-vitamins three times a day. I was told that your body only absorbs 500 (g/mg I can't remember) at a time.

I do the gummy vitamins but you have to keep in mind that they don't contain iron so you may need to take an iron supplement. I also take biotin and a chocolate chewy calcium that I got from whole foods.

i bought a liquid Multivitamin from GNC, it's citrus flavored. I also had my pharmacy order me the B complex in a liquid as well. The D, iron/VitC are pills, as is my levothyroxine. Will probably do a chew for calcium.

My doctor recommended Flintsones with Choline. I found the exact same vitamin (compared them side by side) at Costco under their Kirklnad brand for half the money. I also take gummy fiber also from Costco, chewable Caltrate 600 (calicum and other suff), gummy Vitamin D, and a iron pill. I also by a large contain of unflavored benefiber while I'm there which lasts me for probably 5 months.

I use to buy it at costco too. I found it just doesn't have the same kick for me.

Hope it works for you.

Shirley.

I hope your surgery went well.

I am 1 month post op yesterday. I have trouble with vitamins keeping me up at night. Even if I take them at 5 in the morning. My surgeon recommended Isotonix vitamins. They are powder and you mix a capful with 2 ounces of water. They taste like Tang and go down fast. Plus, they are absorbed better than chewables. I liked them so much, I bought the calcium powder. Again, this tastes like Tang. The taste is citrusy and bright and they go down like a shot. The best thing is they don't keep me up at night. They aren't very expensive either. Plus I don't have any issues with liquids, so around fill time I can still take my daily vitamin. I can't recommend these enough. Some people say they taste too tart, but for me, I will take this over having caulky vitamin leftovers in my teeth, or the texture of a gummy bear that seems forever to chew and chew and chew. You can Google "Isotonix" and their website will come up. These are my favorite.

I take vitafusion gummies multiple vitamin, also their fiber gummies too. I also take the generic viactiv calcium + D chews. I know I can take regular pills, but in the past I'd always forget to take them and since I started the gummies I haven't forgotten, it like my treat in the morning
