I have been taking Bariatric Advantage vitiamins the ultra multi formula with Iron but was wondering if there is a over the counter one i could take that is the same but cheaper.

I have been taking over the counter Vitamins since about 2 months post-op. I do not have any trouble taking large pills although I do break any of them that I can, in half. I just could not afford $80 - $100 a month for Vitamins.

I now buy them mainly at Walgreens because they have BOGO free quite often on most of them. CVS also runs the same deals but I prefer Walgreens. I spend MUCH less for my vitamins now. LESS than half the cost. Be careful and read labels so that you do not lose anything along the way.

I just had all of my nutrients checked by the way and everything is within normal limits.

Good luck:)

I use opurity once a day bariatric sleeve chewable. They are approx $30 for 90 which is a 3 month supply. There are days when the taste is too much so I crush them and add them to my Protein Shake or yogurt, etc. They are only avail online.

I did a full comparison, and then talked to and showed my surgeon. The one that has everything needed and compared closest is the Centrum chewables. This has all the Vitamins and the Iron needed for bariatric patients, and it costs much less!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
