what multi-vitamins to take??



Recommended Posts

What multi-vitamins is everyone taking? Do you like taking them? Do you feel good taking them? I am horrible at taking Vitamins and have noticed a significant change in my skin and hair (hair thinning bad). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi YankeeChick~

I keep it simple and take "Flinstones Complete" chewable tablets, 1x day with one of my meals. Then I take 2 Caltrates Soft Chews, 1 with my Breakfast and 1 after my lunch or dinner. They are chocolate flavored, so it feels like I'm having a bite of dessert when I take them after my meal.

I've been banded for 17 days now, and I have not noticed any difference with my hair. My hair is sligthly below my shoulders now, and I have thick hair, so it might be too early or difficult to tell if any changes have occured or not...time will tell I guess. The good news is, the thinning won't last and your hair will grow back, but you still need to take your Vitamins :)

The Flinstones are really good- I don't mind them at all.

Good Luck!

I like the Celebrate cherry chewable multi-vitamins, they don't make me nauseous like the Vitaband Vitamins. I notice that when people around me are getting colds, I do not, and I know for a fact that my immunity system is not 100% (past smoker). hair and nails do seem better, but I also take Biotin, so I'm not sure which to contribute that to as biotin is supposed to be for that purpose.

I do take Biotin daily and tried the Flinstones with Iron (per my surgeons suggestion) and Bariatric Advantage multi and Calcium and all 3 made me so queezy. So much that I have no desire to take them. I was taking a multi that agreed with me (pre surgery) but the gel capsules are horse pills! I'm not sure I can take them. I will check out the other brands and go from there. Thanks!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
