I am having trouble with my vitamins. I have a liquid multi and a liquid B from GNC and they seem to shall I say- move through my system quickly.:speechles I had the clerk help me, but I think she thought I had bi-pass surgery. Does anyone have this problem? Can you recommend and alternate brand or dosage for bandsters?

I take regular Centrum chewables in Citrus Berry. They are a regular daily multivitam and I pick them up at Walmart or the grocery store.

Centrum chewables - the orange flavor, and Caltrate (I think?) chewable Ca. I lalso supplement with L-carnatine, CoQ10, fish oil and the occasional biotin.

Flinstones chewables for me.

Viactiv- they have a multivitamin and calcium supplement both in soft chocolate chews. I love them! I'm not great at taking vitamins but these are like a treat.

I use the Flinstones and the Viactiv Calcium. Here's a thread from a short time ago with some good info on the subject: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=17627&highlight=vitamins

Tricia pointed out to me that the Viactiv Multi-Vitamin does not contain iron. I contacted the company and they are considering a new formula. We'll see what happens.

I will probably buy the Centrum as I've heard many say on LBT they are better tasting than the Flinstones. I share my Flinstones with my boys, so we will probably go through them in no time.

Flinstones Chewables and Vitamin C chewables

I take Nature's Plus multi liquid Vitamin which I buy at a health food store. I find the quality is better than GNC. I also take liquid vitamin B-complex and liquid calcium/magnesium.

Hope you find one that works!

Centrum chewables

I have no problem getting pills down so I take my usual medications, vitamins and supplements just as I did pre-banding.

I use the Flinstones Complete and the Viactiv Calcium, both were recommended by my doctor.

Centrum Chewables for me too! I also take a "B Complex Blend" that includes Vitamin C and the B's plus chewable Caltrate. That better be enough to keep me healthy!!

I see a lot of people are taking Flintstones. I am also. I have been taking 2 a day. How many is everyone taking? I just decided to take two, not because I was told to do that. But I don't know if I am taking enough.

Thanks,

Rae,

I'm only taking one Flinstones chewable a day. The instructions say that one Vitamin gives you 100% of most of the essential Vitamins you need per day.

My doctor put me on Flinstones chewables (2 per day)

Thanks,

My surgeon told me to take 2 of the Flinstones a day, so I take the same amount as you.
