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.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
