I use All ONe Senior powder Vitamin- I buy it from Amazon.

My Dr.'s office recommended the Vitafusion brand gummy vitamins. I bought the multi, b complex, and calcium and they all taste good to me. For iron I bought the Celebrate Iron plus Vitamin C that is chewable. The berry flavor is good, in my opinion.

Thanks both of you

anyone else with any recommendations?

I use the Opurity chewable. I know there are others, did you check with your nutrionist? The Opurity are a little tart for some, but you don'e have to swallow so it's easier for me. Also, you can check this site for more info and choices - bariatricchoice.com - there are a lot of kinds there. Hope this helps.

My nutritionist recommended Vitamins from Celebrate Bariatric supplements. You can go to their website (http://www.celebratevitamins.com/) and order a sample pack of all their vitamins & supplements for $3. Look for the link on the left side of the page, third box from the bottom. The chewables are actually quite tasty.

I ordered all my Vitamins from LuckyVitamins.com. I have Centrum chewables in orange flavor, calcium citrate wafers in citrus flavor, Vitamin D in a berry flavor and Iron is berry flavored too. My B12 is a nasal spray that I take once a week and I got that in a prescription from my nutritionalist and insurance pays for that. They arent that bad the worst one is the iron its a little bitter but its tolerable. The best part was the price I paid for all was really good considering other options out there.

My NP said any chewables as long as the had all your minerals as well, so I'm taking Centrum multivitamin/multi mineral chewables.

A caution on gummy vitamins, they do not contain iron. The pharmaceutical companies have not been able to find a way to get iron in a gummy. I use Flinstones Complete Chewables and Centrum Petites for calcium.
