Multivitamins

Can anyone suggest a good Multivitamin, preferably petite and not a chewable? I've been taking the Bariatric Advantage Chewable (Oranrge) and I am kind of sick of the flavor.

vitafusion multivites chewable have all kinds of flavor in one bottle so it is never the same.

I'm looking for a quality vitamin too (nut. says stay away from centrum, one a day, and several others) and so far I've not had much luck, she did say Nature's Way was good, so I tried the liquid version (pills are huge) and it is pretty gross, so I advise staying away :). And for some reason you are supposed to stay away from gummy (per nut.) so I can't even try the Alive gummy version. So I hope some people can chime in with some good vitamins.

I use the Celebrate brand chewable vitamins in blackberry flavor...they actually taste good to me. I purchase them through my surgeon's office, and they are also available online.

Anyone know the reasons to stay away from the gummy vitamins? That's what I've been taking is the Alive gummies and I have a gummy calcium, I didn't know you're supposed to stay away from them, does anyone know why?

I drink EcoDrink for my vitamins. My nutritionist appoves it. It comes in a 30 day supply, half orange flavor & half berry flavor. You mix it with 16 oz of water (come with a bottle), I like the flavor plus I get 16 oz of water as well. They sell it at both Sams & Costco plus you can get it on Amazon.

Hi Cooper, I don't have an explanation for the no gummy vitamins, I just have a list that said to avoid Centrum, One A Day, Flinstone, generic store brands and no gummy vitamins. Although, I did find this online, which may help: http://foodladyrd.com/multivitamin-supplements-for-bariatric-patients/. I would think the concern for sugar content may play a role in this advice as well.

I dont take vitamins. My vitamin levels are fine except B-12 which I get injections weekly. My doctor told me if your not deficient in vitamins then they are pretty much a waste of money because if your body cant use it then you just paid for expensive pee. If you're not deficient in vitamins I would say not to worry about it. Its more for the by pass patients that need the vitamins. We can still absorb nutrients.

My surgeon suggests centrum complete. Funny how they are all different. Mine told me to avoid gummies because try aren't as complete as the others. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as you find one that has all the vitamins you need and you can stand taking them.

Gastric Bypass need to avoid the Centrums and Flinstones because they have alittle sugar..but fine for Bands..recommended by my nutritionist..but not the gummies..they lack some needed nutrients

My surgeon recommended Centrum and Flintstones with iron. That is what I take.
