Best multivitamin option - had to share

  • Popular Post

I have cleared this with my surgeon and NUT. It's a liquid Multivitamin and absorbs better in your new stomach as opposed to the yucky chewable ones that are hard to keep down. I can say that I am SO glad I found it! I found it at GNC on sale (buy one get one half off). The guy at the counter let me sample it before I bought it and I was amazed. It's called "Sea Essentials" and the flavor I have is "sea berry". I Actually let my bariatric coordinator try it when I was out of surgery. She couldn't believe how good it tastes either and will now be recommending it to all her other patients.

I think it's like $20 a bottle for 32oz, and so worth it!! Which is why I had to share with all of you:) I have heard too many of you talking about how disgusted you are with your multivitamin. Enjoy guys!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm definitely sick of my chewable. There is a GNC in my neighborhood, so I think I'll have to check into that today.

I will be trying it!:)

Thanks for bringing this to us. Definitely on my list for when the time comes.

Thanks for sharing, I plan on trying it. I also have one to share they sell it at my surgeons office and online it's a powder mix they have 2 flavors, and a flavorless you can mix with anything it's made especially for bariatric patients. Look for it at barilife.com

Jess, Ty for sharing!!!

I'm really intrested in checking this out! :) do you know if it contains all the minerals also? Lack of minerals was the main reason I could no longer take my gummie vitamins.

Thanks!

Idk if anyone here has been as bad as me but I'm 15 days post op, no vitamins at all yet, I tried crushing them once and threw them up, too scared to swallow the pill. I will try this week to swallow them again since I do feel a bit weak, has anyone have this issue?

My NUT told me I had to have liquid or chewable vitamins, I wasn't allowed pills. I like this better than any pill and will probably use it for life:)

Does it say on the bottle how many mg or mcg per vitamin? I need a certain amount of iron.
