My doctor said its safe for me to start taking chewable vitamins what are the best brands that you recommend me to get I think he said something about a multivitamin and a B12 if you can let me know what works great for you guys. also want to start taking something for my hair just in case it starts to get thin. I also have vitamin chewable C is that okay to take also with the other vitamins?

I'm pre surgery and the only vitamin I can take without getting sick is flinstones

My program recommends Bariatric Advantage:

I can't comment on the taste because I take the pills. They are cheaper and calorie free. But I know many people have problems swallowing pills and prefer the chewables.

I use the Trader Joe's High Potency chewables. Taste just fine, low calories, low carbs, low cost. I have my labs drawn regularly and they are always excellent.

I use celebrate chewable vitamins. Made for bariatric patients.

My surgeon also prefers the Bariatric Advantage Line. I take the chewable multi-vitamin RNY formula in berry. Their dissolvable b-12. The calcium citrate chewy bites in chocolate. The chewable iron in passion fruit. I also take a chewable biotin with folate from Costco. We were given samples of a couple different companies. But these turned out to be my favorite. These break down to about $42 per month. My doctor said he preferred that our multi vitamin was for bariatrics but on the other supplements he didn't mind if they were different. Just chewable and sugar free.

I use the chewable vitamins from Trader Joe's and I haven't had any problems.

I did a poll a long time ago asking about the best tasting, and Celebrate came out on top. I had the first one on Thursday... not bad at all.

I was wondering about these. Did you try the chewable or "gummy" type?

I did not. I just had my surgery 8 days ago. I ordered the Celebrate about 2 weeks prior, and tried one, and it wasn't bad. My pre-op instructions said no supplements, and post-op, I'm supposed to wait 2 week more, so I haven't really had them on a daily basis yet.
