What kind are you taking? I'm wanting to find one that doesn't taste terrible that I might can tolerate. My sleeve is June 1.

I take Centrum Adult for my Multivitamin. I just swallow them now and don't taste anything. The B1 is the gross one. That one you just have to get down as quickly as possible. My daughter in law likes the Centrum chewables. She said they don't taste too bad. My NUT says post-op to cut the multivitamin in half to take it. She doesn't want us having anything larger than the size of an M&M.

I use VitaFusion gummies, tasty...just chew well and I have had no issues, been using since before my May 13 sleeve!

My office set me up with Nascobal (B12 nasal doses) and their bariactiv Vitamins. It's submitted through your insurance and you pay $25 or less a month. It was designed specifically for Bariatric patients. I have been taking them pre surgery and I really like them (all chewable/dissolvable). They were also really quick and helpful setting it up through my insurance. A lot cheaper than buying new each month.

I'm not taking them yet, but if you have a CVS near you they have most all of the Vitamins we need after surgery in chewable form. They also have really good buy one get one specials on Vitamins.< /p>

Nasal? Really they have me taking Iron Vitamin B C &D do they have to be chewables? my multi v are

Yes they are chewable and dissolvable. My nutritionist said gummy vitamins have no minerals so they are not a complete vitamin (of course that's what I had been taking). These Bariactiv Vitamins have a great taste (orange and fruit punch I think) and it only costs me $25 a month for B12 Nasal, Calcium, iron, and Multi Vitamin. If you buy them all separately every month it can get pricey. Plus they deliver it to your house.

Surgery is June 3rd!

My dietitian said gummies do not have Iron. I used to take them. She said after surgery Flintstones chewables are fine 1 week after surgery. I also will be taking B12 sublingual (they dissolve) and citrical chewables. I tried the bariatric Vitamins and they made me nauseated.

      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!
