  • Gummy vitamins are what were recommended by my surgeon. I have the vitafusion women's complete multivitamin. Taste isn't bad and serving size is 2 gummies.

I looked at them just yesterday and was shocked at the fact that the serving size was 4. So, in order to get the Vitamins that are listed you have to eat 4 of them....definitely not worth the money...highway robbery! I'm 10 weeks out and still chomping on 2 flintstones every day lol. On another note, a friend gave me a couple gummy Fiber chews and they weren't bad! I do need to figure out the fiber thing...eh hem...

Good luck! hope you find something you can tolerate!

I have been taking VitaFusion MultiVites gummy Vitamins since my surgery. They are approved by my surgeon. The serving size is 2 and has 15 calories and 3 carbs. My labs have been awesome and the few extra carbs did not slow down my weight loss. I met my first goal of 140 at 8.5 months. I am only 3 lbs away from my personal goal of 130 at almost 10 months out. I started taking them because I could not tolerate the chewables and I stayed with them because they are yummy. I can definitely go back to solid pills at this point if I choose.

Be sure to check with your surgeon before you start taking them. Good luck!

I take the gummies for the same reason - they don't bother my tummy so much. They aren't as good as real bariatric vitamins but I am doing the best i can...

Did u take 2 a day, or 2 at a time? Did u take any b12, Iron, or Calcium with the gummys? Or did u you just take the gummy multivitamin?

Thanks everyone. It's so good to hear that I'm not the only one that can't chew up a pill! Lol.. Just the thought of it crumbling in my mouth grossest out! I'm going to buy multivitamin gummys tomorrow. Do y'all recommend anything else to take with? 7 days left an I keep thinking I'm forgetting something;)

Cool! I'm going to look for the vita fusion gummies! I only saw the one kind when I looked so I will look elsewhere. Thanks for the tip!

I can’t do chewable or gummies. Chewable make me throw up and gummies upset my stomach. I take multivitamins d3 in capsules and vitamin b12 sublingual tablet.

I see that everyone does gummy vitamins but I was told by my NUT absolutely no gummy vitamins. Wonder why

cant imagine why not.i luv mine and there sweet berry kind and I feel like im having a dessert!!!I would think as long as your getting some kind of vitamins its fine and its only temporary until you can swallow a reg one.

Well she said a lot of them have way too much sugar and some of them you need to take like 4

I am trying EcoDrink. Got it at costco. It is like crystal light in that you mix with Water. It has 31 Vitamins, minerals. No calories, no carbs, no sugar. It has no Iron so that would need to be a seperate chewie. It has 30% of Calcium so I still need to take that chewie too. Comes in peach mango and bluberry pomegranate flavors. I like to mix both flavors. I think it tastes best with ice. Sweetened with Stevia. Comes with a shaker bottle that you can use or return to the company for six more packets.

I take the Vita fusion Berry Flavored Gummies and they are amazing. I love the taste of them. I'm still in my pre-op period, but I've been taking them everyday for almost 4 months. Because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, I also take everyday Folic Acid and 1200mg of Calcium Plus Vit D. I know I'll have to figure out something after my surgery because my Calcium pills are the size of horse pills!
