Chewable vitamins ?



Recommended Posts

We have a recent post with many people posting about Vitamins, but you really should ask your surgeon. Good luck!

I'm going to try some of the vitamin patches. Vitamins always make me nauseated so I'm hoping they work!

My hospital nutritionist recommended Flintstones chewable Multivitamins. I take two a day. Kind of like a childhood flashback every day! They are inexpensive too.

I have always used the PatchMD. They are great. My levels are perfect and I hated all the chewable bariatric Vitamins. A lot of people mention the Flintstones vitamins but the levels are not high enough according to the minimum levels I have seen. PatchMD always has 25 to 30% off offers.

Well, my Brigham & Women's nutritionist has me on the two Flintstones chewables plus a Calcium supplement, plus a B12 supplement daily. She also added a Vitamin D supplement. I have started Biotin for the hairloss fun that is coming down the road.

I had a hard time with the bariatric chewables. Talked to the nut and she said I could try the Patches but they dont know much about them to recommend them. I ordered two months worth. A week later I am broke out in a horrible itchy rash on my back, chest and arms. It is horrible. Dr. Put me on Zantac twice day plus topical cream. It still hasn't helped. I have now stopped the patch as of today and will find something else the nut recommended to start in a week or so. Ugh.

Yup.

These along with some calcium citrate chews and some Iron chewables can be all taken spaced apart so they don't interfere with each other being properly absorbed.

Centrum has an adult chewable - actual chewable, not the gummies. Can be somewhat hard to find in stores, I ordered on Amazon. But they are an adult complete Vitamin and chewable - orange flavor (somewhat reminiscent of the old school chewable baby aspirin). You should only need chewables for a short while until you can easily swallow regular Vitamins again.

That is horrible, I guess every medicine is going to give some people bad side effects. I am glad I was able to use them. They helped me so much especially in the beginning. I had hair falling out, cracked tongue, and thinning fingernails! If I couldn't use the patch, I think I would use Flintstones before the bariatric chewables, but keep an eye on your blood tests for all the nutrients you are missing.

Centrum vitamints are pretty good, with Calcium chews and mini high potency Iron. All available at any local pharmacy. You can find online coupons for the vitamints.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
