Post-op vitamins

My nutrionalist suggested celebrates multi-Vitamin, but I gag, get real flushed, and feel like I'm going to throw up for about 15 minutes after taking it. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good bariatric Multivitamin?

Ps. It's a chewable so I'm not sick by the size of the pill.

I take Flintstones for kids

Try Bariatric Advantage. They have a website. I take the multi vitamin and the calcium chews. They are pretty good.

Try bariatric fusion or wellesse. And they will send out free samples if you request them.

Okay ill see about getting free samples of the fusion thank you!

Does a flinstone Vitamin have everything I need?

I take bariatric advantage capsules. It is a 6 capsule dose so I take two capsules at each meal.. the capsules are smaller than the acid reducer I was taking so the size wasn't a problem for me. I ordered from Amazon.com and was under $45.00 for a three month supply.

Does a flinstone Vitamin have everything I need?

Some say flint stones with Iron are ok my doc says they are a no no. Not enough of what we need in them.

Also I didn't say it but wellesse are liquid and are all fruit flavored. And very reasonable priced. You should check out there website. www.wellesse.com

As we see here over and over all docs say something different. But you have to take more flinstones than is suggested on bottle. At least 2x. And I have seen some docs say 3x. So you have to weigh if taking the kiddie ones are worth it. And make sure you get flintstone complete. The cost after taking double or triple what you give the kids may not be worth it. Centrum complete has chewable if you don't want to swallow or order bariatric vitamins. But the quality and absorption of our vitamins are very important right along with protein and water. For healing, rebounding energy, cellular health, and to inhibit hair loss. Just make sure you get them no matter what you get some are better than none.

I was told just one a day of the Flintstones would be good and it tells you on the side how much of each vitamin is in one ...for example it says 90 percent of children's iron for the day and 100 percent of the recommended dose of iron for adults. I dont wanna take double that...ill just listen to my dr...he said vitamins are the opposite of medicine and adults need less

I take a prenatal high potency vitamin called Elevit with iodine. It may only be available in Australia though. The pill is large but about the same size as Nexium and I have no trouble swallowing it.

Like I said most important that we take them. Better some than none.

Lol sorry misty quoted wrong one. Fat fingers

I wondered. :)

I was told since we need less Vitamins then kids that is good...I still take Calcium too

I had never heard that before about adults needing less than kids...so thought I'd look it up...according to the government's National Institute of Health that publishes the Recommended Dietary Allowance and issues fact sheets for health professionals and the public on vitamins and supplements, adults need more than kids of almost everything (Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, folate and Iron are the ones I looked at)...calcium was the one that I noted where adults 19-50 need less than teens and seniors.

I remember loving those as a kid...got some post-op and, let's just say my current impression did not match my memory...
