I was taking the Flinstones chewables. I had my first postop visit with my doctor yesterday, and told her how much I hated them. I also questioned why i needed a chewable...when I'm able to take other pills. She finally relented and I can now take one a day. Thank God no more chewables. I also take a tums before every meal.

i Too Take A Flintstones W/iron chewable. I Also Take Caltrate 600 W/vitamin D Chewable Twice A Day. Funny, I Couldn't Stand To Chew The Flintstones Before Being Banded, But Now I Don't Have A Problem. Maybe Its Cause I Am Willing To Put Anything In My Mouth During This liquid Stage.............lol

I take upcal with Vitamin D in powder form twice a day. I get it from the hospital and the cost is about the same as Oscal. What is nice is that I can mix it in anything. There is no taste to it. My multi Vitamin is now Barriatric Essentials that I ordered from Nashua Nutrition. It's a good vitamin in gel pill form. The delivery time is about 4 days and my doctor said it was a good vitamin to take

GNC has a pretty good tasting chewable Vitamin. Easy to chew- just an fyi- don't try their liquid vitamin- the smell is enough to gag you and the taste is worse!

oh, i agree. i thought that a flintstone vitamin would not be enough for me and got the liquid GNC. after day three just the thought of taking it made me want to throw up. that was a wasted 25 dollars!!!

Are we allowed to take a chewable Vitamin right after surgery? I got a bottle of Natures Plus adults chewable. Tastes like pineapple!!

Or do we wait until a different stage?

I take GNC chewable Solotron. It is an adult chewable. They also have a chewable Calcium. Of course I am so dang horrible at remembering them.

I was horrible about remembering too, until I finally realized I had to take them AT WORK. The bottle of Vitamins is sitting on my desk (I am taking a regular Multivitamin now) and this means I will take it at least five days out of seven. My routine at home is so unpredictable I was never taking my vitamins!

You can take chewables any time you want. It's just personal as to whether you feel you need them vs. regular pills.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
