Vitamins

Hello! I had my surgery 02/03, everything is going great but I'm just wondering about the vitamins. Any suggestions on a good tasting, once a day ones? The vitamins I have are terrible, they are called Celebrate (more like plug your nose, chew as fast as you can and swallow). Thanks everyone!

I use Vitafusion Women's daily chewables (from Target). They're basically fruit-snack like. They're better than others I've tried but still not great.

The PA at my Bariatric Center felt the same way as you about the Celebrate Vitamins. She suggested using Flintstone's chewable with Iron. Take 2 a day. They are not bad at all. Not a gummy but much better than some of the other Vitamin options!! :lol: I was told I had to have vitamins with iron so that really limited the options.

I was allowed to swallow actual pills starting 7 days post-op, so I've just been on real vitamins since then. I take Vitaleph Bariatric Vitamins.

I was told to do the Flintstone Chewable once a day. I actually like it. I'm 3 months post op.

We were told bariatric advantage and that flints tones and gummy vitamins don't have the amount of vitamins we need. Basically a waste.

I love Centrum Chewables. I started taking them 6 years ago with the band and continue to do so with the sleeve. I also buy Chewable Vitamin C from Costco. It's got like 500 pills but I take them faithfully every day. Going on 6+ years

The chewable bariatric vitamins I had the first month after surgery always upset my stomach so my nutritionist has me taking Rainbow Light Mini Tablet Food based Multivitamin. It also has a probiotic in it. I buy it off Amazon now. I also take a B12, Vitamin D, and then the Calcium chews. I go in soon for my 3 month follow up so I am hoping everything looks good.
