Multi chewable vitamin



Recommended Posts

chewable Multivitamins stink! So, I thought I was clever when I purchased a bottle of liquid Multivitamin. ...holy moly! I was waaaaaay wrong! I didn't get sick, but I wanted to. The blood rushed to my face and my neck and face got itchy!

I honestly don't want to continue putting things in my mouth that aren't a necessary. ...that's kind of, sort of why I had my surgery in the first place! ;) I ordered the multivitamin transdermal Patches last night and look forward to getting them on Monday. One thing that I don't have to worry about taking that I KNOW is going to make me feel blah!

If you have a target near you I found this new brand called oily and its a woman's complete Gummy and they taste really good. I took them to my NUT and she said they were fine!

Oh geez! Watch out for the Iron supplements! Constipation is such an issue, and iron makes it worse!

Low Iron will make you anemic and it will cause hair loss. By the time you find out, its already too late, so don't ignore your Iron. I know for a fact i can't eat enough in a day to get my iron and other Vitamins in without a supplement.

I've tried a few different chewables.< /p>

Some taste better than others, but none have been objectionable.

FWIW, I could crunch on Flinstones and be content.

I like the Bariatric Support from Twinlab multi Vitamin. Not crazy about the Iron or Calcium though.

Go to Puritan.com I've found a lot of chewables there and they aren't expensive. I got the Calcium tablets that taste like coffee, the fruity Vitamin D and the dissolvable Biotin...other than that I'm taking two Flinstones a day.

@@OutsideMatchInside I also take the BariActiv chewables but cannot stand the Calcium pills AT ALL. Are you able to chew them ok or are you doing anything special with them?

My NUT recommended letting them dissolve in Water and then taking them (and even suggested adding a Crystal Light in with the Water to mask the flavor) but even the thought of that makes me nauseous.

They are huge horse pills! They break up/apart easy. So I just hold them in my mouth and drink Water, and they melt away pretty fast, and I don't taste that much of them. The Iron pills are what annoy me, they are too sweet. The multi is the best of the bunch.

While these pills are annoying, the Bariactiv pills have the lowest calories and carbs of any chewables I have looked at and they are practitioner grade. So even for their annoyance, they are very good quality.

I have tried 3-4 Vitamins as my surgeon and nut says we have to take huge amounts for life. Vitamins are the only thing that has caused vomiting. I just got vitamin patches and so far no problems - I assume they are working. I have shipped back one type, going to try selling a non opened bottle and another I will take back to the store.

So, I just received the call regarding my 6 week labs. All levels are great, so it seems like the multivitamin transdermal patch works as well as they claim!

      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.

      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...
