Vitamin Recommendation?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, can anyone recommend a Gummy Vitamin that has Iron in it? As well as all the Vitamins you would find in a multi vitamin. Currently I take vita fusion , it has 200% Vitamin D which I need, but no iron or zinc. I was told my zinc was a little low in my pre op bloodwork. I'm trying to find that all in one! Thanks

I currently chew on 'Bariatric Fusion' Vitamins, and that has 7.5mg of Iron per tablet. It's not a Gummy, but chewable tablets that taste pretty all right to me. One tablet is chewed 3 times daily so I guess you would be getting 22.5mg of Iron. You can look at the nutrition here: supplements.html?gclid=CJ3hhpKHpLECFUcHRQodzg9OkA" rel="external nofollow">http://www.bariatric...CFUcHRQodzg9OkA. Just click on the 'Nutrition Facts' tab below the picture. It doesn't provide directions for VSG on this website, but it states it on the bottle directly as "Sleeve Gastrectomy: Chew 1 tablet, 3x daily"

Hope you find a brand for your needs...

I take the children's Vitamins. They taste better, but you have to take two. They also come in dinosaur shapes which my son likes.

I take One a Day Vita Craves with Omega 3 gummies. I was told to take double the dosage so I take 4 a day and I take a B 50 complex Vitamin from GNC once a day. I just had my post op blood work done and all my levels have shown to be very good.

I take a one of the chewy Vitamins, I think vita craves too. I take 2 a day but maybe I need to look into that. I tried Bariatric Advantage but I just could not get them down, yuck.

The Bariatric Advantage made me soooooo sick! I could not stomach them. I'm playing around with Vitamins now. I found a liquid but it's nasty too. I didn't know I could take the gummies. How far out post-op can you start the Gummy? I need something that I can stomach. I was looking for a prenatal gelcap but cannot find one to save my life!

I take the Celebrate Vitamins at the recommendation of my NUT. http://www.celebratevitamins.com/shop/

They are the mandarin orange flavor. I don't take the one with Iron, but it does look like they have one. They don't taste amazing, but they're easy enough to get down and only 1 twice daily.

I started them about 2 months out.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
