July 23, 201412 yr Having a hard time getting my vitamins in. They are so gross! I had a hard time with vitamins pre-op too. What's everyone else taking?
July 23, 201412 yr I was struggling as well but last week I decided that I would get them in no matter what. I take 1 Bariatric Advantage Advanced Multi EA chewable in the morning, 3 Bariatric Advantage chewable Calcium Citrate throughout the day (at least 2 hours apart) and I take Natures Bountry sublingual B-12 at least 3 times a week. The trick for me is to let the tablet dissolve a little(or a lot) in my mouth before I chew it. I find that method far less disgusting and after the first 2 days the taste wasn't as bad. You can do!
July 23, 201412 yr I was out sourcing my supplies today and came across a liquid vitamin. Anyone have success with liquid?
July 23, 201412 yr I was out sourcing my supplies today and came across a liquid vitamin. Anyone have success with liquid? I found one too, does the one you found have iron? It wasn't in the brand I found.
July 23, 201412 yr I tried the wellese liquid vitamins before surgery they were fine after, I can't keep them down. The chewables were more tolerable.
July 23, 201412 yr I just took my first post op chewable Unjury vitamin, it tasted gross and came up within 2 minutes. UGH.
July 23, 201412 yr I just took my first post op chewable unjury Vitamin, it tasted gross and came up within 2 minutes. UGH. I totally understand the first time I chewed a vitamin after surgery it came up and I didn't try again until I was 6 weeks out. Now my stomach can handle it.

July 24, 201412 yr I'm taking a bariatric chewable multi that has calcium citrate and iron. I also take a b12 everyday, vitamin D once a week and biotin when i remember.

July 24, 201412 yr As recommended by my NUT, I take my thyroid pill early in the morning. Two hours later I take Bariatric Advantage advanced Multi EA chewable. My Vitamin has Iron so need to space out between thyroid pill and calcium intake because iron will bind with both the thyroid and calcium. Following two hours after vitamin I can take my Bariatric Advantage Carmel calcium chewy. I follow this regime getting in two vitamin tablets and 3 calcium chewys each day. Because I am very low on B 12 I get b12 shots monthly. I take Benefiber every morning. I need it! This is going to be my life forever more!
July 24, 201412 yr I take Celebrate brand bariatric vitamins. They are pretty good. Good enough I can chew em down. They have different flavors. I take a multi with iron and a calcium one.Best of luck finding one you like.
