I had my sleeve on 7/28 and I'm

About a month out. I'm getting all my liquids and Protein in finally. Recently I got the Vitamins that my program suggest I take but they are awful. I have to take 4 chewable tablets twice a day. Is there any other substitute for the Multivitamin that meets all the requirements.

I took two chewable Trader Joe's High Potency multi-vitamins each day at your stage. One in the morning, one at night. You do have to take calcium and iron separately if you want/need those minerals. My labs were always terrific. Plus, the Trader Joe's vitamins are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any specialty bariatric vitamin.

My surgeon recommends Centrum Chewable Adults. I take one in the morning and one in the evening. They are not terribly expensive and my blood work has been good (9.5 months out so far).

I use Source of Life liquid vitamin for three years recommended by my fabulous educator, a compound pharmacist. It is on Amazon, not the average store. Our pharmacist has a great health food store. Tastes good and a bottle lasts forever.

I like the Opurity vitamins, the only one out of several I tried that I could stomach.

My surgeon recommends Flintstones complete. Make sure they are NOT the gummy type. I will be taking 2 a day after my surgery. These are made for children and they really taste pretty good.

They are all disgusting. I cannot wait to be able to swallow pills again. I had the melts a couple of chewables and a liquid. They are all so terrible. The flintstones are the easiest but just try to make it quick because none are going to be good is my advice!

Vitamin issues the opurity chewable is too sweet

I take Bariatric Advantage Multi EA Chewable tablets twice a day. They're not too bad! Smell a bit weird though lol

I also take the Bariatric Advantage Multi EA Chewable. They are ok thought they would taste better. Going to ask my Dr at some point can I change to everyday Vitamins from CVS instead of having to get them on line for the rest of my life.

Same here laney. And I'm very new to the whole Vitamin thing but they just seem pricey to me. Is that normal?

I ordered the bariatric sleeve vitamin set from bariatric advantage and have thrown them up twice. they are way too sweet. i can't stand the taste of sweet since the surgery.

They are pricey the Bariatric Advatage Mutlivitamin.....m

My Dr also recommended CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN --MULTI COMPLETE 45-----it includes the MVI! B12, VITAMIN D and IRON....it is cheaper and also a Capsule...I am going to try them after I finish the other ones. If anyone has tried the CELEBRATE MULTIVITAMIN..please let me know if they are any better than what I am taking now. Thanks

I only had to do chewables for 8 weeks. I am beyond excited to say my two months of artificial chemical berry bile tasting hell are over!!! I am free no more gross chewables no more torture from the B50 capsules that tasted like earwax missed with kerosene. Free!!!! I am free!!!

I tried the celebrate chewables and they made me vomit every time.

The Bariatric chewable vitamins I had bought made me gag. I ended up taking centrum vitamints but they don't have iron so had to take a small iron pill at night. Now I am using Flinstones children's complete (my surgeon recommended). They have iron. I take 2 in the morning. Then I take viactiv chewable for calcium -- one with lunch and one with dinner.
