I am one month out from surgery and looking for a good Multivitamin capsule with Iron?

My nutritionist says I could save on carbs by not doing the Celebrate chewables, but that it's important that I use a capsule, not a tablet. Also, I need to introduce some iron, but not as a separate pill or chewable. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Seems like every store I go to have gummies (=carbs) or the big honking tablets that I only picture hurting when swallowing. Not opposed to liquid, but prefer the travel-ability of capsules. THANK YOU!

I use the Centrum Silver Chewables(because I'm over 50). Citrus berry flavor. I was told no capsules, as they don't dissolve as fast & the are usually timed released. And as far as Pasta, my dr says NO, as it can ball up like white bread can and cause a blockage. I'm not big on pasta anyways so it doesn't bother me not eating that! I also take an Iron chewy bite once a day(chocolate raspberry) it's like eating chocolate. And I use B-12, 2 times a week & Citracal+D 2 times a day. I get the petite ones(smaller to swallow)! I get all my supplements at Walmart expect for the chewy bites(Bariatric Advantage), I get those at drs office. I am slowly getting off the meds I was on before surgery for diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid & pain meds for my knees. So happy I had the sleeve done!

And you can ask your pharmacy to order the Vitamins you would like...some will do that for you.

I misread that someone was eating pasta... I went back & reread the posts, it was the tofu pasta

Someone told me to stop listening to everything the surgeon says as if he were a god...even if he sees himself that way. I'm questioning everything. Dumb people never heard of shriataki noodles (made from tofu) and even tho they permit tofu on the diet, they came down yelling NO NOODLES at me...for a lousy 20 calories! No fat. Sheeeeesh. Can't wait to take up with the nutritionist. See, I don't think its possible to eat this way for a whole 6 months to a year and then expect the body to adjust to eating healthy (fruits and all veggies) and continue to lose weight. I think that's a bunch of hoo-ha...designed to keep the Vitamin people in cadillacs.

Right,,,its tofu...has 20 calories in 4ounces...a gram of protein and, like the oldtime ,'shmoos', can be flavored to taste like anything plus if u do like pasta u could almost close your eyes and think u were eating it. BUT it aint pasta...u can get it in the health food store for 1.29a package. Requires parboiling as prep.

I am feeling like the other posters above.

The carbs from your Vitamins are the LEAST of your worries. I don't count carbs at all. I really stay away from bread, Pasta, rice. Other than that I get my Protein in and if you are really eating that much lean meat/real cheese/yogurt etc....you don't have to count carbs your smaller size pouch simply cannot hold much extra after all the protein.

Good luck and stop stressing.
