I Have Been Horrified By The Chewable Vitamin Samples

My Nut handed out some samples of various chewable Vitamins (Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate) and I am finding them to be awful, chalky and make me feel a little queasy - and I am still pre-op! I have been using the liquid Vitamin from costco - reViva. The thing I like about the liquid is i can swallow it and get it out of my mouth quickly. I just found out they have a liquid Calcium citrate too!

Alot of my favorite chewable calciums are calcuim carbonate so i have been apparently taking the wrong calcuim all these years. I love the gummy vitamins from Costco too, but I think that the reViva is a more complete vitamin.

Anyway, I am going to brave the liquid calcium since costco has a good return policy.

They have twin packs for a decent price right now:

sublingual B-12 discs because Costco had a coupon special. I found out that they are higher dose then the 1,000 mg recommended by my nut. She didn't seem overly concerned about it, but i wonder if I should return them and get something else. I have been using liquid ones but find that i don't keep it under my tongue long enough, think I will do better with a disc or lozenge.

Now i just need to find a chewable Iron pill and I guess I am set.

  • I buy @ walmart multi-vites from Vita Fusion they are DELISH- and the Citracal Calcium chews are the bombdigity- (way better than viactive).

My doctor gave me a whole bunch of samples and I found that I liked the bariatric fusion brand. I bought chewable Iron tables in mixed berry flavor and the MV in orange cream flavor. Both are very good. I did try the liquid MV from costco and I didn't throw up, but found I couldn't stomach the idea of drinking it (even added to food). You might want to see if your dr. has any samples to try? Hope this helps and good luck!

My doctor also had these Fusion Vitamins and told me this would be all I needed 3x a day. He said that if at blood work time I needed more Iron or anything else then I could start taking the supplements.

Have you found these have been enough?
