Flinstones Multivitamin gummies. My Nut said these are just fine.

My nutritionist told me no gummies since they lack thiamine. I did, however, end up ordering the chewables plus Iron.

my surgeon says Flintstones are as effective as anything and that I should save my money for new clothes, not designer Vitamins. i haven't read anything bad about more commonplace Vitamins like Flintstones, Centrum or 1-a-days. Personally I cannot stand gummy vitamins, they are too hard to chew up. Maybe that is what some people like about them.

I really like the Bariatric Advantage line and also purchase from Bariatric Choice. At first a few of my Vitamins just made me gag but after some time I got use to them and they are vital for the rest of your life. gummy vitamins were also off limits because there is a potential for possible blockage...at least that is what my surgeon told me. So I'm staying away. Run them by your nutritionist or surgeon ASAP and ask specifically when they want you to start them. I take the RNY multi, Calcium, Iron, b-12 and Biotin as well. My bloodwork has come back excellently. I believe if you aren't happy with the vitamins bariatric choice accepts returns but double check on that. Best of luck to you...

I have tried several Vitamins and someone suggested ez melts vitamins and I am really liking them especially the Iron. Most of the iron chewable have had a bitter taste! I ordered off of Amazon and reasonably priced.

My NUT said that I will need to take special chewable bariatric Vitamins because of the malabsorption aspect of RNY. They are expensive, though, when compared against the regular selection. Can I get away with a cheaper option that won't negatively affect my health?

I was told to take Centrum multivitamin/multimineral chewables and calcium citrate, two each per day, plus a sublingual b12...that's all I take, six months out I had my blood work done and all Vitamin levels were good, except B12 was too high so I only take that 3 times a week now????

I buy all of mine from a local health food store. I use all liquid vitamins. A Multivitamin, Iron, Calcium, and sublingual B-12. I can give you product names if you are interested.

Flintstones is also what my NUT recommends but not gummies. She said they don't have Iron.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
