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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
