What do folks think about Costco's Kirkland Adult Multivitamin gummies? I bought them yesterday and like the taste much better than Centrum chewables.< /p>

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.< /p>

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.< /p>

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
