Are Flintstones complete really good enough? Critic my vitamin list please



Recommended Posts

I am a couple days shy of 4 weeks post op. I am currently taking Celebrate Multivitamin capsules but sometimes they make me feel ill. Its hit or miss, has nothing to do if I take them on a full stomach or not. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes they make me feel like I am going to puke them up.

So for the last couple days I have been taking 2 Flintstones complete Multivitamins. They are chewable, go down fine and stay down with no ill effects. I would love to continue taking these as my daily Multivitamins but I have read so many mixed reviews on them. Can anyone verify if these are ok for someone with a VSG. I doubt they are good enough for DS or RNY patients but what about people like us without malabsorption issues.

Can you guys check out my daily list of Vitamins I am taking to let me know if I am missing out on anything. Again, I have read so many mixed comments in regards to what I should be taking that it would be nice if I can get some feedback on the exact Vitamins I am taking daily. I do not take an Iron supplement because I was told men do not have to... is this correct?

I take...

2 Flintstones complete chewables

1 Celebrate B12

2 packets of Upcal D 500mg each of Calcium. I mix my Protein shakes with almond milk. I get an additional 450mg Calcium per shake, drink 2 shakes per day. Total calcium 1900mg daily.

The Flintstones are more than sufficient since children need more Vitamins than adults in many cases. Look at the bottle, most levels are over 100% of the daily requirement for Adults. I just had labs done for my 1 year post op visit. Everything was great with the exception of Vitamin D. I am at toxic levels in that because of the levels found in both my Calcium and the Flintstones I'm looking for a lower dosage in the calcium supplements as soon as my current supply runs out. The calcium citrate gummies the best.

I take two Vitafusion multi gummies and 1 Flintstone multi with Iron per day. I just had my 3 month labs done and they were perfect. You may want to also try the Vitafusion multi gummies. They are very tolerable. You can get a big bottle at Sams for good price.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
