I always had problems with multi-Vitamins, but when I got the band it was even worse. Because I don't eat as much, I always got the children's gummy vitamins so it didnt upset my stomach so much, but I didn't feel like i was getting what I needed.

But I recently found the One a Day VitaCraves Multi-Vitamin. I LOVE them. I take the one with immunity support as I work in healthcare setting so high immunity is always a plus!

The bottle says to take 2 a day, so I take one in the morning and one before bed. I havent felt nauseous once from them, which is wonderful!

Just thought I'd share on here for those who may not have seen them before :)

I love Vita-crave gummies, my husband picked them up for me at the store because I was having a hard time with so many reg Vitamins. I also take:

chewable acidophiles-helps keeping your bowels going helps with the band

chewable Vitamin c

Gummy Omega 3- Vitafusion

Gummy Vitamin D/calcium - Caltrate

I do not dread my Vitamins now, and it helps with the bathroom issues!

My biggest struggle was Multi Vitamins because there's so much in them and it was too much on my stomach. I dreaded taking them. I take tons of vitamins and now can handle a multi as well! I also take acidophilus, which I always tell people, especially females because it helps with ph balance as well...it is a pill form but it's a powder type pill that isn't hard for me to take...I also take Vitamin D (i seem to have abnormally low vit D levels...found that out after two broken bones :-/ very teeny tiny pill) and chewable vit C. It seems as though when everyone is getting sick, I stay pretty healthy! Yay me! :)

The only problem I've heard with gummy vitamins is that they can be lacking in nutritional bulk like regular Vitamins do. I use Centrum chewables and a Gummy B Complex by Viatfusion. Just check with your surgeon about the quantity you should take, as you may require more.

Hmm, I never heard that...I've compared side to side nutrition labels and they have been almost identical with some regular pill Multi Vitamins, but I'll be sure to check with my doc just in case!

I have been taking the sunkist chewable Vitamin c, but it is so tangy that I dread taking them. Has anyone found a chewable Vitamin C in any other flavor besides orange?

VitaCraves has Gummy Vit C, which may be less tangy than a chewable tablet. Also, Emergen-C is a great powder with multiple flavors....mix with 1/2 cup - 1 cup of Water.

I had actually started out with O-Purity Multivitamin for band, but the flavor was really too sweet. I now use the Centrum chewable, and even though the flavor is not good, I prefer it over the sweetness of opurity.< /p>

I would also only compare to another chewable, preferably a bariatric mix for band, to see how it lines up. My surgeon recommended Centrum chewables and said not to take a pill form Vitamin.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
