I cannot see the bottle very clearly, but it looks like Celebrate multi-Vitamins. That is a good brand, but I think you have to take 3 a day and supplement.

yeah I'm sorry i was going to make it bigger lol but yes thats the one

i know if 3 but the ones i use are making me sick so want to try them and see and this are cheaper than the other ones i take

Kaiser suggests Celebrate or Bariatric Advantage brands and they sell them. When the rep brought my class samples. I did not like the chalky taste of the CELEBRATE (this was pre-op).

Are you trying to stick to a chewable?

I am taking the Bariatric Advantage Advanced Multi EA 2x daily. These are chewables and not bad. The cost is $30.60 for one month plus tax with Kaiser as the code at http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/categoryHandler?cat=Kaiser%20Recommended%20Vitamins%20%3A%20Multivitamins

If you are open to PatchMD or taking capsules, I think you have more options.

i have the chewable and i get sick and end up throwing them up and i need to try something different so the Celebrate are $21.99 from my insurance site so wanted to try them i think is the chalky taste from my chewable that make me sick. the ones i take are from twin labs

I use a different brand, but it's one I have to take 3 times a day and that has worked great for me! All of my blood work has come back perfect at 2, 4, 8, and 12 months post-op.

Do a search for PatchMD here.

Vitaleph, which was recommended by my surgeon/nutritionist. They are currently rebranding to "Caral", but I plan to keep using them so long as their formula for their multi-Vitamins stays the same. They have shakes and other vitamins/minerals, but I only use the Multivitamin, as their pricing is pretty high.

I have been reading about it here on BP and it seems to be a good option instead of taking pills.

Those are the harder ones to eat too :/ maybe I just need to suck it up lol

I did the wafers for about 3 months then once I found the capsules I totally went to those. I take double the recommend about because of absorption factor. I would rather be taking in more Calcium than I need then to be at a deficit. Especially after going through the whole B Vitamin deficit.
