Flintstone Vitamins Complete

I am wondering if taking Flintstone Vitamins would be okay post lapband surgery? I had my procedure on July 22, 2010 and the Caltrate and One A Day Vitamins were making me feel very yuck,,,so I quit taking them a few months ago... I figured that even though the Flintstone Vitamins are for kids,,,that at least I'd be taking something...it does say on the box that adults can take 1 a day,,,but,,,I don't know if that's enough or if I should take 2 a day? Thanks!

The nurse at my surgeon's office told me to take either Optisource or Flintstones Complete. I bought the Optisource but will switch to Flintstones once I finish this bottle. (Optisource is kind of pricey.)

Flintstones used to be on my doctor's accepted list but no longer. I take Centrum chewable with Iron. They aren't too bad and I prefer them over the Bariatric advantage brand. I take Viactiv chewables for calcium.

I take those also, 1 a day when I can remember!

I used to take Flintstones but I got sick of them getting stuck in my teeth and I don't like the graininess of them. Now I take One A Day VitaCraves Gummies, they don't taste like vitamins at all and they go down easy.

My surgeon told me the flintstones for kids were ok as long as I take 2 . They don't really taste that good to me and they do get stuck in your teeth. I'm may switch to the vitacrave gummies once I'm done with these. I remember them tasting better when I was a kid. Lol

I buy the Costco Version of Flintstone's and my blood work has been fine. Make sure to get the Choline version. My doctor specifically mentions that.

As my pre Breakfast I do chewable multi, calcium, D, fiber. A hour before I take Biotin (for hair loss), COQ10 (good for the heart and I'm on a statin so helps with muscle pain), and iron pill.

I was told to not take my multi vitamin and calcium together but to allow several hours between them. Something to do with absorption, I don't remember exactly.

I too take the Vitacrave Gummies - two a day

I take flinstone complete (2) and 2 chocolate calciums

I don't like the chalky taste....

I take Target brand of the Vita gummies.... I can handle those ok and chew really well.

For the calcium, I take the Target brand of the calcium gummies....

In the beginning I bought several different brands of the calcium chews (Caltrate, Viactiv, etc) and to me those taste horrible!!

I been doing the Flintstone's Complete with Choline for 7 years now.

My surgeon put all his Bariatric Patients on the Vitamins.

Dosage is 1 tablet 3 x a day. I just grab my 3 when I have time, and take them. Every Day....

My surgeon's office reccommended 2 of the Flinstones Completes. I've been taking the Centrum chewabes instead... I like the taste.
