Has anyone else been forbidden to take gummy vitamins post-op?

Nop. My doctor recommended taking 2 multivitamin gummy/day. But you most chew it very well before swallowing.

No, I take them daily

No' date=' I take them daily[/quote']

Ok, I'm taking them too...these freakin Flintstones are disgusting!

Yep! My NUT say's absolutely NO! I had to go and get the wafer type.

My doctor, surgical nurse, and nutritionist suggested the gummy vitamin post op. No chewables.

Haha I agree! My dr and nut said gummies were fine:)

Yep - my doc said no gummy anything. I think his concern is the carbs. He wants his patients on 400-600 calories, 60-80 g of protein and 15 or fewer grams of carbs until we hit 75% of our excess weight loss. So 3-5 grams of carbs a day from gummies doesn't play well into that.

My nut told be those vitamins are not suffice, not enough vitamins

I have taken them ever since surgery over a year ago. I could probably take regular ones now but I find that they are a nice treat in the middle of my day haha

I don't take gummy vitamins but I do take a gummy B complex that my NUT and doc suggested. I also take a sugar free gummy fiber supliment. I haven't have any issues with either.

You may want to compare your funnies to your Flintstones. You will notice some things are missing from the gummy vitamins. You will find some major differences. Most notably, the gummies do not have B1, B2, iron and calcium. So you may have to take extras. Especially the iron. You should already be taking extra calcium so that should be fine. But the iron is important on such a limited diet.

I do prenatal gummies more vitamins

I can't take iron, and already take b12 and calcium so I'm good

Yeah, my NP actually suggested for me to take a small extra iron supplement on top of what I get from the chewables. She said for women who are still menstrating, extra May be needed. I just worry about taking too much cause that can cause constipation. I don't need that! Hah So for now I am taking it every other day. I will just see what happens at my three month blood work to decide whether I should keep taking it.

I don't take them. I went to Puritian.com and got the vitimans they suggested post op on the site for my sleeve surgery.

I chew a couple but they are like the ones we had post op.
