Bariatric advantage came to our pre op class promoting their line of products. Has anyone had any luck on any otc cheaper alternative? If so, what?

So if I go with feline stones do I just double the disease? Am I still gonna need bi lingual b12 and calcium with vitamin d? Can we take viactive chews?

I take the Flinstones and buy them from Costco.I like the purple ones best but the price makes me chew the other ones HAHA! I take b-12 gummy kind from Wal-Mart and the Caltrate chewables I get from Wal-Mart

I take a gummy multi and vit D from Walmart and was getting b12 injections but my nutritionist freaked when my blood levels came back, the B12 was way too high so now I just take the sublingual. I also take Iron (for menstruating Women it's a must), calcium, sometimes when I remember I add vit E, Biotin, and vit C..oh and a probiotic.

So, this is very informative. I do not see the one you use recommended. Would you change your recommendation or stick with what you have?

I actually am pre op and bought the opurity by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury I gave its stats toward the beginning of the thread. Seems comprehensive will be discussing it with my dr tomorrow. The taste wasn't tooooooo bad may need to test a few to find the one I like not that I won't be using all the others cause of the cost.

Caltrate is calcium carbonate. I was told the best calcium for us is calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is the same thing in tums. It's not easily absorbed by RNY patients.

Citrical is the most popular brand of calcium citrate but so far I haven't found it in chewable form. For now I'm taking the bariatric advantage calcuum citrate chewable lozenges. It's like chewing a big chunk of chalk. Blech!!!!

I take calcium citrate + d3 (petities) cause the chewable ones make me so so sick!

7*10*12

I was told no gummies a d the calcium had to be citrate. I love flintstones and I ake a prenatal at night

The Dr, dietician and pharmacist know and said those were great to take. Maybe each Dr is different on their preference.

Why do you take prenatal pills?

There seems to be a good mix of gummies and chewables...my nut didn't express an opinion...are there any post ops out there who have taken both and have a preference?
