Buy chewables until you feel confident with swallowing larger pills. My B-Complex is a capsule, not huge and has worked fine for me. I get them from vitacost. I also take Biotin, zinc and phosphate.

I am taking Centrum chewables, they aren't much for taste but not the worst. I take 2 a day.

I get the liquid Nature's Way multi vit/ multi mineral. It doesn't taste fantastic, but it has everything we need.

My doc recommends Centrum and Flinstones with Iron. One each per day. It is hard to find a chewable Vitamin that is as complete as a regular pill. Just because they say they are complete doesn't mean they are. Check the labels. Good luck!

Dr recommended either one of the bariatric blends or Centrum chewables.< /p>

I take the Centrum & Calcium chewables.

I get them from CVS when they have a bogo. I chew them up at the same time and the taste of calcium cut the Vitamin taste so not to bad.

My Dr said no gummies.< /p>

I take Centrum complete chewables. Orange flavor, i get them on subscribe and save via Amazon and it's pretty cheap. They taste ok and dont make me feel sick like other Vitamins i've tried. I also do a liquid B-12/folic acid and chewable Calcium with D and a separate D3. I get the chewables from GNC and they're good!

I dont take any because I am not Vitamin deficient. I have my blood work done every three months and my doctor told me if you're not deficient you dont need them. All you're buying is expensive pee. Get your levels checked not everyone needs them.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
