i have heard Bariatric Advantage are good, although I have never tried them.

I buy TwinLabs - Barriatric Support for my wife and she likes them. They are also less expensive than Bariatric Advantage. (If you buy them on Amazon :) )

Thank you!

I take 2 flinstone complete chewable multivitamins, GNC B-12 Sublingual, and a small iron pill (only pill besides PPI/prilosec that isn't chewable). You do not have to take the bariatric brands, just check with your nutritionist to make sure that whatever you choose is ok.

I take the celebrate multi complete twice a day this includes iron and all the b's. For calcium I take the calcet citrate creamy bites three times a day which includes vit D. I also use the my med schedule app which texts me when its time to take them, they have to be spaced 2 hours apart.

Great info! I'll def download the app.

Pillboxie is a great pill minder app!

Try liquid Floridex for iron, it'll absorb MUCH better. I like the gummy vits so if you can find these is a much more tasty option. I have liquid B12 that tastes good too.

Liquid b12? Please, do tell!

Can be found at GNC, and online. Now foods (same makers of Iron, and Vitamin d drops?)

After 4 months I finally found a multi vitamin I like. They are ameriwell tabs and you dissolve them in water and it makes a little "jello shot" that you slide down- tastes like a vitamin jello but not gritty and has a great dose of all that I need and only 15 a month. Some may not like the hassle of making jello each week but I make a weeks worth at a time and I will actually take these- my chewable just sit there- I don't like chewing them and so I put them off and then end up not taking them.

Oh, good suggestion! Never heard of the jello approach. I tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate tabs and capsules, respectively. Both made me hurl. Next I tried a trader joe high potency tab. That worked and tastes good to me. Now I am taking a GNC men's formula for active trainers, just what I need for high intensity running. I hope you find something that works and that you like.
