Chewable/Liquid Paleo vitamins and protein?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I'm pretty new here and I believe this is my very first post!

I'm due for surgery (bypass) on the 30th of September and am looking forward to this very much.

What I need to know is, has anyone found any Protein and Vitamins that are Paleo friendly that are liquid (not the protein, obviously!) or chewable and don't have things like soy, any of the 'ose's (fructose, cellulose, malodextrose, etc.) and are not full of fillers, or are sweetened with aspertame, etc.? I'm having a hard time finding these things and am worried that I will have a difficult time with the standard vitamins/protein that have all the other stuff in them that I prefer not to use.

Thanks for your help!

I'm excited!

Do you have a GNC? If not you can order online. I got a liquid Vitamin for bariatrics......it was not too bad of taste....had an orange taste to it. I have also used "Teen" gummie Vitamins from Walmart....they met all of the guidelines. Check out http://www.musclegen.net/ see if this will help you with your Protein. It has really helped me. There is a video on the lower right hand side to watch.

Thank you TexasLady. I'm hoping to find something a bit more on the natural side though. I'll still look into what you've suggested. I'm open to find the best I can!!

Look into Unjury Protein powders and their affiliate opurity chewable bariatric Vitamins. They are only avail online and are very reasonably priced and the Vitamin is chewable and only once per day not 2 or 3 times a day. Good luck with your surgery :)

I'm very interested in this thread. I am 2 months out an the only issue I am having is with Vitamins. Someone please help.. I dnt want to get sick or loose my hair! :(

I have tried Bariatric Advantage an I have tried Celebrate, both times I have tried it made sure to put something on tummy an within 15 minutes I was throwing up:(

I need a Vitamin I can keep down! So far only thing I have been able to take is the flinstone gummys, but I'm worried that it's not enough of what I need. Also if ppl are taking the flinstone Gummy are they taking anything else to? Please help... I'm trying to get in a routine an I'm having a very hard time

Maybe try opurity chewables They never made me feel sick, however I got to where I just couldn't chew them anymore, my taste changed so I switched to Celebrate caps but I too got sick so now I take one near the end of each meal with a sip or so of Water. It's the only way I can take them and so far they haven't made me sick when I take them in thus fashion. I hope this feedback helps.

Hi. I've been researching healthier Vitamins and Protein. Thorne has a line of some pretty clean Vitamins as does Dr. Mercola. I need to find out if these lines are crush-able or if they are capsules that can be opened. I research everything! Also, getting enough Protein is crucial to not losing your hair.

I'm still researching and will post here as I find healthier alternatives to what is currently being offered or suggested.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks guys any input is great. In really considering the wellese liquid vitamins.. Has anyone else tried this?

I have tried capsules and chewables an have had no luck. I have been on gummys. I have the Celebrate capsules an have tried an tried to take. Within 10-15 minutes if taking I got light headed an little dizzy, then throw up. It's so bad I actually dry heave due to puking everything up an nothing being left but the icky yellow stuff (I know TMI) but my hole upper body is sore after this process. I have been through twice an I'm scared to try again:(

I have been great on flinstone Gummy but in afraid that I'm not getting what I need, or no if I need to take more than just that.

Hi sherriB I wanted to let you know that I use are Protein Powder called Bluebonnet its all natural and it is sweetened with Stevia . I have the vanilla and chocolate I like the chocolate better but the vanilla is good if its mixed with PB2. I'm starting to research Vitamins define which ones are sweetened with Stevia I can't do artificial sweeteners . If you find something in the Vitamin realm that's all natural post it for me if you wouldn't mind. I've just finished all my pre-op work and waiting on insurance approval . I'm looking at the first week in November for surgery . Good luck with your research

If the multis cause nausea, make sure you take it after you eat, or after your Protein Shake. That helped me a lot. Also, Iron can cause a lot of nausea, so unless your doc says you need it, try a multi w/o iron.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
