Amazon carries the whole line of Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins. Calcium Citrate chews too.

For my multi, I use the generic chewable from CVS (Centrum One-A-Day copy I think), it's super cheap (around $7), doesn't taste horrible, and I can get if BOGO every few weeks (like next week).

My B12 is the Spring Valley sublingual from WalMart (best taste and price so far).

I do use the Bariatric Advantage Calcium chews.

I use Centrum's 1 a day with prostate support (cancer has all but erased the men in my family)

B12 is liquid, I think spring valley, I also do the drops.

Vit D is also spring valley

Fish Oil is whatever is on sell

I don't take calcium, I'm against kidney stones when supplementing with D. Doesn't happen to everyone, but it can, and has led to kidney stones with using D and Calcium at the same time.

Well, discovered today that CVS has discontinued the chewable I was using... :angry:

Look in the vitamin section at Walgreens. I use gummy multiple, gummy D3, dissolvable B (think its Vitamelts) and a sugar free calcium.

You should have no problem with capsules or tablets after the first couple weeks. You will find higher quality vitamins with fewer additives. Vitamins are not something to skimp on, though. You just spent a lot of money and effort on surgery. Spend a little on decent supplements. Those gummies have about as much potency as a jolly rancher most of the time.

Don't I know it! But I'm not throwing them away. Ill go back to Centrum Silver chewables and continue D3 and B that dissolve. They're better for you. I take a lot of other Meds in the am. I take two sets of vitamins. Am and pm

Ladies, please remember the Men's room is for men only.

Thank you.

Found out why today. They are switching to a gummy.
