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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

You should check to make sure Calcium is not included with iron. It affects the absorption.

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
