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.

Has anybody ever tried the Vitamin patch? I'm not a great pill taker so this option seems like a great choice if it works. Reviews welcome.

My nut doesn't recommend patches or gummies. They said concern with patches and absorption. I would ask your team.

I'm taking the Celebrate multivitamin and calcium chewables. The calcium chewable is like a jolly rancher and is fine. The multivitamin makes me sick to my stomach and tastes very disgusting. I can only tolerate the multivitamin if I take it with food.

Working beyond grief for a better life!

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.

How many times a day do you take it?

SleeveG, you take it once a day. The taste does not bother me at all. I just liked the liquid, and a bottle lasts forever in the fridge.

Thanks I saw it at my local Vitamin shoppe will definitely be picking it up. Do you take Calcium and Iron seperate?

Our pharmacist said this is the best and all you need. However, in three years I have added Black Cohosh, a hair vitamin my husband found (Not Biotin which was worthless for 1 1/2 years). Our surgeon has monitored our blood work religiously and added Thiamine shots for me, now tells me no more B6. I think it will be a constant part of our routine, to either add something, or take away something. Your NUT can advise, but I am done with buying the expensive products in the surgeons office right now.

Thanks

I did a powder vitimin you mix in water, twice a day. I really had no issue swallowing pills so after two weeks the nut said go ahead and take the oil form. I went on line googled mutlivitiam patch, if you decide to go that way, use biariaticpal a coupon. Any on line sight you buy from google their name and coupon, 90% of the time I find a discount coupon. I like the patches, but have had problems with them coming off, so I switch to shoulder from butt. Now I have issues with daily activites, I like my hot tub and showing after a work out or any sweaty activity, but the patches can't get wet, and need to be on around 12 hours, not convenient for me

I am using the Patch MD vitamins that I order from the Bariatric Pal store. I am less than 2 weeks post op so I have not had any labs done yet to confirm how effective they are or aren't. But there is a noticeable difference when I forget to put one on. My energy level is not nearly as good. So far I'm pleased. I use the B12 and the multivitamin patches.

I had my surgery in February 2016. I couldn't do the bariatric Vitamins....literally made me sick. I have used Patches since February. Blood work and all levels have been great. Not other supplements I take are Biotin and calcium. 75lbs down and doing great!
