July 19, 201214 yr Has anyone used the Bariatric Advantage sleeve kits? Any feedback would be really helpful - bit daunted by all the Vitamin choices!! Jess
July 19, 201214 yr I've had the Bariatic Advantage multi-vitamin and the calcium. The multi-vitamin tasted horrendous to me. Could not take more than one and gave the bottle away. They are also expensive. The advantage to the multi-vitamin is that you only have to take one a day. My nutritionist suggested the Centrum multivitamin or Flintstones childrens' multivitamins.
July 19, 201214 yr I tried the bariatric advantage vitamins before surgery and they were fine. Every time I have taken them after surgery I vomit. Not sure why I can't take them anymore. Costco has a great deal this week on gummies vitamins and calcium.
July 19, 201214 yr I would not waste the money on the Bariatric Advantage chewable...I hardly used them! They all taste horrible, and always made me sick. I stopped using them after a week...lots of money down the drain!
July 19, 201214 yr I'm using Flintstones Complete chewables (my surgeon strongly recommends not yusinh "gummy" anything), Celebrate's cherry tart Calcium + Vit D, and Celebrate's cherry Vit B12 (it's a sublingual tablet). Those are the only supplements prescribed by my surgeon (for me).

July 30, 201213 yr My surgeon does not recommend gummy Vitamins at all. Your best bet is a chewable designed for bariatric use. He says you want to have at least 200% percent of USDA requirements in your multi. I use Celebrate Chewable Multivitamin (mandarin orange); they cost 15.95 per month. That is not a lot of money considering your multi is the most important supplement. Compare Flinstones side by side to Celebrate (free shipping from MedMarket.com). http://flintstonesvitamins.com/en/products/flintstones_gummies_complete.php and http://www.celebratevitamins.com/supplement_facts/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48
July 30, 201213 yr I wouldn't get the Bariatric Advantage ones...I had to stop taking them because they were making me sick. They are really disgusting. Right now I'm taking Flintstones.
July 31, 201213 yr I just want to second the Celebrate multivitamin. I also take the mandarin orange one. It's not the tastiest thing ever, but it does the job and doesn't make me feel sick.

July 31, 201213 yr I have tracked down some vitamins called "Optisource" that you can get from walgreens. They are actually intended for post Bariatrics surgery patients. They are like $30 for a 30 day supply. You take 4 of these chewables a day. My wife has been taking them for a couple of weeks.
August 1, 201213 yr Centrum multivitamin chewable Celebrate calcium chewable Natures bounty b12 sublingual So far so good.
