I'm curious as to this as well. I have a chewable multivitamin and am on my 3rd one, all make me gag. I used to do a gummy multivitamin and would really like to use that again, but don't want to hurt my sleeve. Anyone had success/failure with gummies? I do a dissolvable Biotin that is delicious, wish my multi could taste like that.

I am one year post op and I have taken gummy vitamins since week three. I just chew them really well. I also take vitamin b liquid twice a week and biotin. I have never had any problems with them and my labwork has been normal this entire time.

I take gummy B12. I'm 4 weeks out. Sometimes I take a gummy multi-Vitamin but usually I use Flinstones Complete chewables.

I was told to take a chewable multi vit for my first month post surgery. I couldn't find a normal chewables ANYWHERE. I was just discussing this with my dietician yesterday and she said they are hard to find. I told her I was taking a gummy cause that's pretty much the market for chewables these days. She said that was fine. I chew them up really well and I haven't had any problems; I am 2.5 weeks out. At one month I will stop with those though and switch to my bariatric multi vit as instructed.

My doctor said not to take gummy vitamins - only chewables. He said there is a specific vitamin missing in the gummy. I found mine at CVS. They aren't bad at all to taste.

My dr and dietician both said most gummies are missing iron and are too low on a few other key nutrients and sure enough mine that I love were missing iron so that is why they recommend two flintstone completes a day.
