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 take the Bariatric Advantage chewable also, and I like them. They taste almost like a sweet tart to me.

I do the Bariatric fusion (Mixed berry Flavor). In my opinion, they are very palatable (a little sweet, but not too sweet). In tiny print for the Supplement Facts, it says on there for Gastric Bypass and Gastric Sleeve patients to take 4 a day. I chew all 4 of them, all in the morning, one after another. After each one, I take a sip of hot tea (or whatever hot drink you want).

My NUT explained to me that having 4 of them would fulfill all the requirements that you need for the day including the Vitamin B12, Iron, D3, and Calcium.

My labwork has been great.

I wish you the best in finding one that works, but think that the Bariatric Fusion is a great choice because you won't need anything additional.

I noticed even the Flinstones are disgusting. I never believed my son when he would protest lol. Oops.

I just had my one month post op and picked up a bottle of Bariatric Advantage multi-vits with Iron capsules. They are HUGE! A little bit of sticker shock too! I've checked the label against other ones in Amazon and none of them seem to even come close to the amounts that are in the BA Vitamins.

I take the fusion wild cherry. At first, I hated the taste-very metallic. But as soon as I was able to move from liquid diet to soft foods, it tasted much better. I guess the problem was with me at the time. Still can't manage to take more than two a day, partially because it isn't convenient and secondly for constipation reasons from all that iron.

I have been taking the Celebrate Multivitamin with Iron for a week now. Tolerable is all I can say. Ready for something else or at least a new flavor.
