No more chewables! Tell me about your vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I bought the Unjury brand chewable Multivitamins and their calcium citrate Vitamins as well. Both taste like c*#p!

I wrote that I bought a certain brand of Vitamins and they tasted terrible and my original post was edited and changed. See above. Does Abbott labs own this site? Am I not allowed to give my honest opinion of their products???

Ya. What a bunch off nonsense. You type in the Abbott Labs labs brand Vitamin and it will change it to "medical quality protein" like above. Then you can link to their site to buy their disgusting Vitamins.

I get mine from HSN. I like them because they are capsules and I can open them and get to the powder if I need to. They are very gentle as I do not like taking Vitamins or horse pills. I don't feel like I can swallow them.

I've gotten the go ahead from my surgeon that I do not have to use chewable or liquid Vitamins anymore and I'm anxious to move on. I have about a month's worth left of my chewables so I have time to research and comparison shop.

I'm really interested in hearing from those of you who've had labs done already (I have not) and have good numbers.

What do you take? Would you be so kind to tell me the brand and where you get them? If you have a link to it that would be amazing!

Thanks!

with my dr okay, i get my Vitamins at Walmart

I agree, Rocky. I kinda just bought the first ones I saw. My surgeons office gave us a bunch of samples. I thought the Multivitamin was once a day with not other Vitamins. But, there's the Calcium too. I really dread those dang things. Anyway, I'm all ears on suggestions. The fewer times per day the better.

I'm a year out and sometimes the big Vitamins that are oblong get stuck sideways still. I opt for chewables for both my multi and my Calcium. Multi I take is called Spectrovite and tastes like an orange creamsicle. I buy CVS brand chewable calcium that tastes like a Gummy bear. As for other Vitamins, my 50,000IU Vitamin D is really small so I swallow that one, along with my Biotin.

This post was started a long time ago but I thought I would share what I use since I no longer take chewables. I cant even stand the taste of Flinestones Vitamins and the gummies hurt my teeth for some weird reason. I started taking a new Vitamin line about 1 month ago and so far love it. Its called Thrive by Le-vel, it also has a probiotic that is equal to 1600 cups of yogurt so for me its perfect! I had a baby almost 1 year ago and had a life threatening condition that caused me to lose a lot of blood and I became very anemic, so these Vitamins are exactly what I have been looking for. I literally cant swallow regular prenatal vitamins as the make me gag, but Thrive is small capsules, a mineral mix and wearable nutrition patch so I have zero issues with gagging!! Anyways just thought I would share and maybe this will help others. you can check it out at www.702layla.le-vel.com

Is anyone else doing the ProCare Health Bariactric capsules? It says once a day is all you need. Does that really work? I would love to go down to my multi just once a day. ????

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
