Multi chewable vitamin



Recommended Posts

I couldn't find one that wasn't disgusting. I used Flinstones Complete and took double the dosage for the first month post op. After that I started with regular Multi Vitamins.< /p>

I take Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's. They taste fine, are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than virtually every other Vitamin out there. My labs have always been great.

My surgeon is very specific about wat I can take. He says Flintstones are a huge no no as well as gummies Centrum and one a day and generic store brands. He says it makes him frustrated that these Vitamins are even sold bc they are a waste of money and have no ground in being rated highly for purity and quality. He only approves of optisource, Celebrate BA and GNC .

I started taking these this week.

They taste pretty good, kind of a berry flavor.

Sometimes they have a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but I can live with it. :-)

I hated the Bariatric Advantage multivitamin too. I use the ProCare bariatric chewable in citrus and find that it tastes okay, but now that I've gotten permission to swallow pills I'm just trying to use what I have left before I buy some regular caplets.

I use building blocks Vitamins, they're a bit pricey but I like the way they taste. chocolate flavor was ok, but black raspberry was my favorite. Celebrate sent me a box of samples for $3... Pretty sure they still do that, they're not bad but I like building blocks vitamins better, they come in bundles and separates. Multi, anti ox, Calcium and Iron cost about $65 and you get them the next day. Hope this helps !

I take Bariactiv but it looks like you can only get them with Nascobal prescription. I like them, I take them on an empty stomach all the time no issues.

I took Celebrate in strawberry pineapple flavor - I did fine with them the first week but by the second week they started giving me awful reflux, and then they started making me gag. I was just cleared to take capsules so I switched to Bariatric Advantage.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
