Gummie Multi Vitimans...Thoughts anyone?



Recommended Posts

These chewable ones are the ones I'm going to try... http://www.drugstore.com/centrum-silver-chewables-multivitamin-and-multimineral-chewable-tablets-citrus-berry/qxp141311 waiting for them to be delivered... has anyone tried these ? hope they're not gross...

If not... These are the gummies I was going to try' date=' best i can find from my researching so far... but they're missing a lot compared to the first one http://www.drugstore.com/one-a-day-vitacraves-gummies-complete-adult-multivitaminmultimineral-supplement/qxp266216?catid=180675[/quote']

I take those...they're not the silver ones though - just for adults (not older adults). But they're orange flavored and I don't mind the taste at all.

I have been taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins that were recommended by the surgeon's office. They recommended them so strongly and signed me up for auto delivery, they have to be getting a commission on the orders.

I was looking at everything closely today (since my New Year's resolution is to do a better job of taking my vitamins) and was shocked to see that between the multi-vitamins and the Calcium chewables they have 170 calories. 170 calories!!! That's just not right.

I take a Gummy from costco that has all but Iron and B12. I take a sublingual b12 and a separate Iron chewable (chocolate which masks the flavor) as well as separate Calcium (as you shouldn't take calcium with iron). I like the gummies from costco and they are recommended by my surgeon and nut WITH the added others. It works for me. :) My blood work keeps coming back great.

Why no calcium with iron?

I take 2 flintstones a day. It's the only one I can stand and it was listed on our sheet as a viable Vitamin choice.

I still struggle trying to find Calcium though. I see a lot of people mentioning Gummy calcium but in my experience they are all the wrong calcium (carbonate). If anyone knows otherwise do let me know.

I take the Viactiv calcium chews, they taste great.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
