Best multivitamin option - had to share



Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.< /p>

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.< /p>

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
