Vitamins!!!

Hey everyone ! I need to buy vitamins ! My Nutritionist told me before surgery I should be taking Multivitamin, Vitamin C and Vitamin D. I believe vitamin C+Caltrate 1200mg, Vitamin D 2000IU. So I wanted to know any excellant vitamins that are great, easy to swallow, and not so pricey !!

My doctor/nutritionist said no pill vitamins. So I take gummy versions of both. I take VitaFusion for Women Gummy Multi Vitamin and VitaFusion Gummy Calcium +Vitamin D. These can both be found at Walmart for around $20 total and they are about a 2 month supply each. These taste great! Hope this helps.

I take pill vitamins no problem, I take a multi d3 and b1. After a year on multi I was d3 and b1 deficient. Make sure they do your follow up bloodwork on time soooo important !

I take vitafusion gummies too! They taste yummy

Me too and I totally agree!

GNC Women's Ulta Mega has almost the same exact ingredients as Bariatric Advantage Vitaband chewables. Women's Ultra Mega is time released, significantly cheaper, actually higher potency of some of the Vitamins included, but you do have to swallow two big pills.

I don't have a problem swalling pills. And Lord knows I take about a zillion fish oil caps a day. So, GNC Women's Ultra Mega works well for me.

Back when I first got the band I used to take gummies or double dose of Flinstones chewables, but if you compare the Vitamin dose in those to Bariatric Advantage or Women's Ultra Mega, you will be dismayed to see they don't even come close!

I've also decided to pick up a bottle of Bariatric Advantage Biotin supplement. Last time I lost a lot of weight, my hair kept falling out. I hear Biotin is good for help with that.

Vitafusion multi, Vitafusion B-complex both are gummy form and Calcium plus D the Viactive type chocolate chews (but I get the store brand version) taste like tootsie rolls.

Where do you buy the VitaFusion gummys?

I get both of my VitaFusions at Walmart. The Womens Multi might be a little difficult to find. But they should have the regular adult gummy and the calcium in stock. I hope you can find them!

I got mine at target

I get my Vitafusion gummies at Costco. Cheaper than Walmart and bigger bottle too. They are darn tasty!

Yesterday when I went to the nutritionist she said not to take the gummies as they are missing 2 of the vitamins.

I've been taking the One-A-Day Women's minis with no problems. Nature Made fish oil also makes a mini now.

My doc and nutritionist ok'd them for me. They just did a blood draw last week to check my Vitamin levels and I should hear back in two weeks. Have to admit that I am curious if its all good.
