What Multi Vitamin best?



Recommended Posts

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!!!!!

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.

I've been using optisource chewable Vitamins. You only need to take 1 pill 4 times a day. And you get what you need. My NUT said it would be the easiest to manage.

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 surgery in Sept. 2015:

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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
