I take chewables, too, but think I'm going to switch to liquid. There are some days when I look at the bottle & walk away; can't deal with it. On those days I take gummies.

Years ago I took a liquid vitamin/mineral supplement that I bought online. I can't remember the name, but I keep searching. They were great Vitamins, and were decent tasting. But you can find liquids in the health food stores....or the Vitamin Shoppe. That may be a good alternative, if you're having ongoing issues with the chewable.< /p>

Yep. I was taken completely off all the Vitamins because they made me dry heave. Doctor told me that we may want to revisit it later and if my B12 comes back low he's going to make me do the B12 shots, but I don't take any vitamins at all right now.

I have a bottle of Nature Made gummies, but (I don't know why) I don't feel that they're potent enough. They seem to be lacking in some areas.

Which ones are y'all taking?

i take gummies and the flintstones kids chewables.< /p>

do they make you nauseated because of the flavor or is it just the Vitamins? until i got used to them I had to take them at night right before bed and this has always been the case even with prenatal pills that you swallow.

Hope something works out, Good luck!

Wow a lot of you guys are saying that you take the gummies but my nutritionist said that I absolutely could not have gummies after surgey. Anyone know why that could be?

I was told out any meds in a 1/2 Vinger for 10 mins. Vinger acts like the acid in ur stomach. If the medicine dissolves you can have it. I'm sure tummies don't.

Your nutritionist is right after surgery it's not good to have gummies, because it's not the right time for this. You need to have proper mediation after surgery.

I just recently saw a commercial for something called VitaMelts.. Guess it melts in your mouth and they come in yummy flavors. I remember when I was first banded, I tried the Bariatric Advantage chewables, they were aweful.. I used the Flinstones, gummies, then finally just went to basic Multi Vitamins you swallow, I take it at night of course as its most easiest for me to swallow.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
