New 1 A Day Bariatric Vitamin!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I wanted to share a new daily Vitamin that I received from my nutritionist.

It is from ProCare Health and is called Bariatric chewable One-a-Day.

I used to use opurity and am going to switch to these once mine run out. They are smaller

than Opurity Vitamins and are $10 for a month's supply.

Here is the website:

Nope, :( They are the chewable tablets. They are just a little smaller than a dime in diameter.

I showed these to my dietitian and she loved them. She said I would still need a Calcium separately because this Vitamin has all the Iron you'll need and you can't take Iron and calcium at the same time anyway. She did however recommend breaking the Vitamin in half and taking it a few hours apart to ensure maximum absorption. I'm excited about these because I was using Celebrate Vitamins and that was 5 chewables a day. 2 multi and 3 calcium. Now I'm moving to 1 a day and a calcium chew.

Thanks so much Baker_gurl for sharing. :D :D

You're welcome Peachee! Wow! 5 chewables a day! You're right, as with most Vitamins, you'll have to take a Calcium supplement. It is nice to only take one a day and they are smaller than the O'purity vitamins and slightly cheaper. They do have a stronger Vitamin taste than o'purity vitamins, but it's not bad.

These Vitamins mess with my mind, I mean the figuring out what to take when ect. It is a full time job to get liquids and vitamins in. I hope my nutritionist approves of these once a day. Cause taking things two three and maybe five times a day is just mind blowing. Good luck everyone. And if anyone has an easy to remember schedule of vitamins please let me know. I feel like I have spent a fortune already in viatmins even before the Surgery last wednesday. I just want it to be simple. Is that too much to ask? lol

I have eight incisions all around my belly so I can't really tell which surgery was where, whole belly sore. But from what I understand there wasn't a problem getting it out. I haven't heard anything about a pathology test on cyst and mass, but I am going with no news is good news right now,. Too much to think about with taking care of this pouch. Doc did say he removed a lot of scar tissue so I am sure that is part of the soreness. I think they just had a hay day while there where in there.

Do you know if these taste better than the opurity chewables? They tend to make me gag...most days I don't get or keep them down. Also, do you have any ideas for better tasting high-Protein? Have tried Isopure ZeroCarb flavorless and most flavors...haven't tasted any that really taste GOOD!

Deperately need protein...due to stricture and subsequent surgeries have not been able to eat anything for 5 mo...losing hope of ever getting hair or strength bak

Thanks,

Cheryl

I need gummi everything the ones the nutritionist gave me are chewable and huge and gritty. I can't stand them anymore. I assume y'all take Iron pills because yall still have your periods. Hopefully I don't need the iron

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
