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>

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
