Gummy vitamins!?



Recommended Posts

Anyone take Gummy Fiber or Vitamins? Anyone have issues with them upsetting your new tummies? I'm taking the melting type now but I miss my fiber gummies!?? I'm almost at week 3 obviously I'll wait till week 4 to even think about trying them but was curious if anyone else takes them!?

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.< /p>

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 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.

      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! 😞
