Greetings All!

I am 3 weeks post-op and I absolutely hate my Vitamins. I am taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitaband chewables and they are just terrible. I have spoken with my doctor about the Calcium supplement and I have a substitute for it, but I am still looking for an alternative to the Vitaband multi-Vitamin. Any suggestions???

Thank you!

Bariatric fusion are pretty good.They come in a variety of flavors and although not as cheap as OTC they are not gonna break the bank.

When looking for Vitamins i was told to look for Multi Vitamins with vitamins AND minerals. Most just say vitamins. Vitafusions are yummy though, especially the multivites. I look forward to taking them. I take two a day and i even space them out so i get to enjoy them twice a day :) It's my little sweet candy-like treat

I agree that the BA multi-vtamins and calcium citrate are terrible tasting. I grind mine up and pour in a glass the I pour a chocolate Protein Shake in the glass. Works great.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I guess I am surprised that most of you are taking OTC Vitamins. Surprised, but relieved that I don't have to spend $32 for Vitamins from GNC! I think I will compare a few OTC against the BA and go from there.

Thank you again!

Bibi

I take the Target brand of adult Gummy Multivitamins and gummy Calcium. They're the generic version of vita fusion calcium and vista fusion multi vites.

I i use Celebrate brand chewables. They also have other bariatric items. I order online. Way better than nasty bariatric advantagr.

I go online to Vitacost.com and get mine. The prices are so low and they have so many choices. A friend of mine who had gastric surgery years ago suggested it to me.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
