Bariatric Fusion. 4 of these a day covers everything! Calcium, B... Everything! Taste good, too!

What do folks think about Costco's Kirkland Adult Multivitamin Gummies? I bought them yesterday and like the taste much better than Centrum Chewables.

You're supposed to take 2/day.

I was told NO gummies. Maybe you are further out than I am, but they are too hard on the sleeve. Bariatric Fusion are chewable.

My NUT recommended Flintstones Complete. You have to make sure it's the ones that say Complete. They have everything you need.

I use a gummy for my B12. And I use the bariatric Creamy Bites calcium - the chocolate tastes just like candy.

Get my vitamins from my Bariatric clinic. Told to take 3 a day. Blood draw every three months and they examine the results closely. They know right off the bat if you aren't taking them by the results of the blood test. I assume vitamins from the drug store would work as well but I wouldn't have any idea how many to take to equal what the Clinic wants me to have. A month supply is $25.

I take Vita4Life and I’ve always had amazing labs. They make quality supplements and their prices are so good. Not everyone can take a capsule like I do, but I was speaking to someone there the other day when I placed my order, and they’re coming out with chewables shortly. I believe she said they estimate 1-2 months. You may want to check them out if you’re looking for a chewable?

As for hair loss, it’s a tough one. Your hair loss is due to telogen effluvium. It is caused when your body has been shocked by trauma, in this case -- surgery. Essentially, up to 30% of your hair goes in to the resting phase, and then falls out. It's temporary and will grow back. I didn't go through it after my surgery thankfully but not everyone does. I took Vita4Life Hair, Skin and Nail formula and their Multi-Standard formula since the second week post-op. I don't know if I can credit no hair loss to that, or to just being one of the lucky ones but I believe the supplements do work. If I were you, I'd space any supplements you take out over taking them all at once. Good luck. I'll link you the supplements so you can take a look at what I've been using. My labs have been spot on for years thanks to these.
