Which Multi-Vitamins are everyone taking?



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months post VSG, down 60 lbs since first of the year and doing great. My Doc had me taking Bariatric Advantage Complete Multi-Formula (which his office conveniently sells). I see on this site that some Surgeons and NUTs recommend Flintstones chewable, Trader Joes chewable etc. I like the Bariatric Advantage just fine, but they are quite pricey. I also noticed that the Bariatric Advantage tend to crumble in the container. I am left with a bottle that's a combination of broken tablets and powder.

I would very much appreciate all input.

I use Flintstones- one in the am, one in the afternoon.

I am also taking Flinstones complete. I take 2 in the am. Just had my 3 month blood work done and looks like they have been working just fine.

I get my Multi Vitamins & Calcium from The Vitamin Shop. They were recommended to me by someone who had the sleeve 3 yrs. ago. You can also get these in a liquid form but much more expensive.

Garden of Life Vitamin Code for women. I like that they are whole food based and contain micronutrients, live Probiotics, antioxidants and enzymes you can get from synthetic vitamin products. I also take a separate B12 sublingual.< /p>

I take two Multivitamins from Walgreens (there own brand) that is the same as Centrum Silver. They are reasonably priced and they work for me. I don't go for all the bells and whistles that the surgeons office sells. I do use quality Unjury Protein. It is the best.

I currently have Giant Eagle kids' chewables. I used Flintstones for a while, and I have Centrum chewables (which did NOT agree with me at all). I like Flintstones, and get them when they're on sale. Otherwise, the store brand is essentially the same (I went through the ingredients) and my NUT was okay with them, plus they agree with my tummy.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
