What Multi Vitamin best?

Hi All

What Multi vitamin is the best to take? I have tried samples of Bariatric Advantage chewables and Unjury Multi chewable and they taste horrible!!!!!! It was the French vanilla for the BA and mixed Berry for the Unjury. Please let me know what you guys have tried and what you like.

Thanks!!!!!

    Do you need a chewable? If so, I have no recommendations, since I never had to be on one. I was allowed to start taking my Vitamins in capsule form at 7 days post-op. I have taken these since my surge

FYI: I take Celebrate chewables and they make me terribly nauseous if I chew them on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, I bought a six month supply!

I started taking Celebrate Multivitamin without Iron, capsule form. They make me incredibly nauseous, food or no food. However, their iron chews are fantastic.

I'm trying Bariatric Advantage Ultra Multi soon. Hopefully that will be better.

Yes you always have to take chewable multiple Vitamins if you have had RNY. I am 11 years out last year I started taking a multiple Vitamin in tablet form, my hair was falling out. I went to see the bariactric dietician and was told you have to take chewable forever. When I resumed the chewable vitamin my hair stopped falling out. I take Optisource 3-4 a day

This post is in the Gastric Sleeve forums though, so I assume that is not the case for the OP.

I take the BA capsule. I am 3 weeks out and have been taking it for 2 weeks. No taste, just point your face down when you swallow instead of your natural reflex to look up! The capsule floats so you have to drink more if you throw your head back! Take on an empty stomach then eat or drink a shake. 2 in morning, 1 at night!

My nutritionist recommended Flintstones complete chewable. But I will be adding a chewable Iron because I already have trouble with low iron and was told Celebration was the best tasting. Hope that helps. Haven't tried any yet though.
