chewable multi-vitamin



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I have a question about the Multi-Vitamin. I take 1 opurity chewable a day. Some days it makes me unbelievably nauseous and other days I'm fine. I think it depends on how well I chew the Vitamin. It is so sour that sometimes it is hard to chew. I tried to find a substitute Vitamin, such as a Gummy, but none of them have anything close to the amount of Vitamins in this chewable.

Has anyone else had this problem?? I know I need my Vitamins and I am choking this thing down every day, but I hate not knowing how it will make me feel. Any other vitamins you guys have tried? Also, is it possible to take a multi-vitamin pill, not chewable? i prefer pills!

I'm about 4 weeks out and have to chew a Vitamin twice a day. It makes me terribly nauseous, which is new! It didn't bother me until about a week ago. Now, its so sweet that I can hardly stand it!

I'll be asking my NUT about this on Tuesday!

Vitamin World has a very good multi Vitamin that's chewable in pineapple flavor and it has as much & a little more of somethings than Bariatric Advantage one does. That's what I use cus it is cheaper and im on a budget right now. If you don't have a Vitamin World close you can order online and they will ship to you. I don't do the gummies because i was told they leave out some of the important one's because they taste yucky. Good luck in your search :}

I was taking one of the Bariatric chewables preop and was fine, but it made me gag post op. I have no problem with Flintstones chewables-and my nut actually recommended them. Much less expensive too!

Biatrics is very expensive I am using them but looking for other options ? What about Calcium ?

calcium citrate is the one to go with. its easier for us to break down after surgery because we don't have as much stomach acid as before surgery.

I buy my Vitamins at Vitamin world. They have all of what I need and I can afford to purchase them. In the past I quit taking vitamins because they were so ridiculously priced I couldn't justify there expense in my budget, then I discovered vitamin world. :}

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
