Vitamin Choices

Recently someone posted about Vitamins and how hard they are to get down, I didn't want to hijack someone's thread so I wanted to make a new thread. I am able to get the vitamins down ok but need some recommendations for a good Multivitamin and where you get them.

I really would prefer chewable, melts, or gummies but if there are smaller vitamins,that would be great. I can't do the huge one right now... hurts my belly!

Thanks in advance.

I would love to take the gummy's as everything else makes me sick. But my doc said no to those because they don't provide enough nutrients for a bariatric patient. Did your doc ok them?

I use the adult gummy ones from costco. I was using bariatric choice chewables but they make me sick. My gummy ones are delicious :)

I also take the costco adult gummies. The NUT said the same thing at our appts however they work great for me. My lab work has been great at the 3 and 6 month appts, the only thing off was Vit D and that has to do with where I live.

And I should admit that I rarely remember to take them but it seems the food I am eating has done plenty.

Celebrate pineapple strawberry chewables. They are tolerable and are choc full of everything wl patients need. You can order them online.

It was recommended to me by my nutritionist that I take the Flinstone vitamins. You can chew them and they taste good and are not hard to get down. So, I have stuck to them. :)

Thank you, I take some gummies so will consult with my NUT before I choose and give them ur suggestions

I take the Costco adult gummies and was told that was fine by my surgeon. I tried the Flintstones complete but they made me throw up so I had to switch. I also tried the Centrum adult gummies, but they made me sick as well.

I take Celebrate vitamins. You can get free samples sent to you by registering at their website. I order them online. I've recently switched to capsules for the multivitamin, but I really like the chewable iron (orange), so I'm not switching that.
