Need non-gross chewable Vitamin recommendations ....gummies?

I'm currently taking Opurity chewable (specifically for gastric sleeve) and I can barely tolerate them.

I have to literally talk myself out of throwing them up /spitting them out/gagging while chewing. It's making me avoid taking them. What about gummies? Are there any that meet WLS post-op requirements?

I'm also taking sub-lingual B Complex/B12. I don't start Calcium citrate until week 4.

Help!

My doc told me Centrum Chewables was fine. That's what i take, Citrus flavored. For calcium, Citracal gummies. Tastes like gum drops.

For the first couple of months, I did Flinstones complete with Iron, twice a day ground up in my protien shakes. Gross, but I could choke them down mixed in shake. Gummys do not provide the right nutrients we VSGers need.

Your taste will continue to change so don't invest your life in Vitamins. I now take TJ chewable Multivitamin at 2 1/2 years out.

Do what you can and remember things get better/easier.

I use twin labs bariatric multi vitamin .... not bad

I do the Flintstones gummies, not bad except they stick to the bottom of the jar.

I take nasty powder from my doc. Dr Boyce Knoxville tn...you can order it. It takes like typical vitimans. It's much better than a multivitamin

I take the Bariactic Advantage chewables and feel sick everytime. I try to avoid them but my hubby is always asking if I took them yet. He is concerned I'll get sick if I don't. In the market for a new vitamin now also

I use Celebrate Vitamins. I use the grape multivitamin, grape Iron, and the tart cherry calcium. They don't taste too bad I must say. The multivitamin is the only one I found to have a little aftertaste but I just chew it first and then the other ones.

I use the Centrum Chewables Orange Flavored they are pretty good, I tried the gummies and the got stuck on me. Not very pleasant.

I drink this

I drink the nutritional beverage (3oz) a day and an energy drink. The products are full of Vitamins and taste great. My blood work check up came back great and was told not to change anything.

I also take Calcium chews from GNC.

Hope this can help y'all too!

Good luck on this fabulous journey:-)

I take bariatric fusion vitamins in orange cream flavor. I get them from my doc but have seen them on amazon. They're not bad as far as vitamins go.

I just took my first celebrate calcium plus. It's my first time to puke since surgery 12/19!!! I handled the multivitamin and the iron but it immediately came back up with calcium. I didn't mind the flavor. Any suggestions? I took them spaced out and had something in my stomach!

Sorry I don't have any suggestions. Sorry that it caused you to get sick. That sucks

Thanks everybody! I've been reading the posts while I'm trying to get down the giant nasty grape flavored chewable pill from hell....it's funny because I went with these ( they are sold on the Unjury site specifically for sleeve patients) because they had the best reviews as far as flavor. Well good Gawd! If this is the best flavored I'd hate to taste the others.....
