What brand bariatric multivitamins do you take?



Recommended Posts

My doc told me save your money and use good old fashion Flintstone multi Vitamins. Taste good and I am a lab tech so I can assure you my labs are great too

I take regular Equate (WalMart) Multivitamins and Calium along with other supplements by either Nature Made or Spring Valley. My surgeon was okay with that and all my work since surgery has been fine. Other supplements consist of D3, Biotin, B12, coq10. Because of my sleeve tummy, I do take all my supplements and medications spread out over about a 1-2 hour timeframe. There's no way I can take all of my morning meds & supplements all at the same time.

I use VitaGene. I did 23&Me years ago so all I did was download and then upload my DNA data, right now I'm just getting the post surgery chewables, then after next month I'll be getting Vitamins designed for me based on my DNA. Pretty cool!

I've never taken a bariatric Multivitamin in my life. I'm 3.5 years post-op. I take Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's, which are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any bariatric multi and my labwork has always been stellar. Bariatric supply companies with their fake candy Vitamins can step off IMO.

I swap back and forth with Flintstones, Centrum, and the patch multivitamin.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
