I was told to take vitamin gummies by the dietician, but the nurse in the surgery center told me they would get stuck... Any advice on vitamins???

I take gummies everyday. I have no trouble with them at all. I chew them very well before swallowing. I was banded 6/19

I do liquid Vitamins. Mix them with a little fruit juice (actual fruit juice - like the Bolthouse Farms that doesn't have all of the additives) or you can drink them on their own but they don't taste the greatest.

My nutritionist was adamatly against gummy vitamins. For one, the consistency she didn't care for (may not be able to chew them into an acceptable texture post-op). But what she disliked the most was the amount of sugar, calories, and carbs in most of the over-the-counter gummies. The ones that taste acceptable are usually coated with or made with sugar. I have seen a few brands that don't have a lot of sugar, but I'm trying hard to follow all of their advice so I switched to liquid.

Again, this is just the theory of my nutritionist, and the surgeon agreed. I've heard from a lot of people that they take the gummy vits and they are just fine.

Unjury has chewable lap-band vitamins, I plan to try them...

2 Flintstone Chewables

Yea, why not!

One of the problems with gummies is they don't have the mineral content that a regular vitamin does. Chewables are easy - Trader Joes has one, but Flintstones are good too!

I had the opurity Vitamins. They weren't bad, but were a little too sweet for my liking...

I had my first post-op appointment today and was told 2 chewable children's vitamins. Hope this helps, good luck!

I just do a regular chewable...not gummy

I have no problem swallowing regular vitamins. One A Day has petite vitamins. They are a bit smaller and you take 2. I have never had problem swallowing pills but I can't keep down liquid Tylenol or Nyquil. It comes back up in a matter of minutes. Kind of weird.

I use fusion chewable vitamins.

Thank you all so much for the great advice!!
