need a multi vitamin that I can stomach

need help with a multi vitamin. my surgeon recommends Bariatric Advantage vitamins, but I have tried the crystals and all 3 flavors of the chewable, and they all make me nascous. Any suggestions are welcome because at this point I am not taking any vitamins.

The gummies have MUCH less vitamins, that is true. If you cannot stomach anything else, you'll just have to have more gummies. Unfortunately, that also means more calories.

I know my nephew just said that he has the hardest time when taking vitamins on an empty stomach -- how are you taking yours? Have you tried taking them after a meal?

well i cant eat yet so i took it after broth and it is a very bad experience!!!!! Flinstones i can handle but i imagine there is not much in them ????

did u have a super sensitive stomach and these did not bother u?

I hate chewable anything, so i just waited until i was 2 months out and started taking pill forms, but most were way too big for me. Just recently I saw on HSN a multi that is perfect for post-WLS peeps. it has extra D and extra B12. I still take an extra calcium. This is the smallest of capsules and goes down easy. There is no after burps, or tummy troubles at all.

Here is a comparison to another complete: http://img.hsni.com/...Essential-1.pdf

It is called Essentials 1! I have so much more energy just after taking it for 2 weeks, and it seems to be all in 1 pill! I really was taken with the way they are made and have no added stuff to hold the pills together. That is a big thing, I am allergic to a lot of that!

Forgot to add that it is HSN and if you do not like them for any reason you have 30 days to return whatever you didn't use for a refund!!
