Multi Vitamins

My doctor has advised that it would be a good idea to go on a multi vitamin after surgery. He also said that capsules and tablets will be hard to get down.

Does anyone have suggestions on what good multi options we have after being banded?

I would love to hear from anyone, particularly those in Australia - Ta!!!! :)

I use kid's chewables. (Flintstones with added Iron.) They also make gummy chewables for kids. You just have to make sure you are getting an adult size serving. (I take 2 to get 100% of the stuff I need.) IMHO the adult chewable stuff tastes gross. :-)

Frog.

I'm currently taking Centrum Silver chewables, which taste just fine...but I don't really want to be taking synthetic vitamins.

Any suggestions??? Anyone tried the GNC powdered ones that are supposed to be natural? And are they really?

:rose:

:rose: Oh yeah...I'm also taking the Spring Valley brand of chewable calcium...the chocolate. Now I won't give those up because I am very strict with my diet and I enjoy having them 3 times a day because it's like a treat for me.

I also use Perfect B for a B complex....like it, too.

:D

haha I'm glad to see I'm not the only one taking the Flintstones. I've tried the Centrum chewables and thought they were kinda icky. Then I remembered how much I liked Flintstones as a kid and asked my nutritionist (who is also banded) and she blushingly said those are what she takes too. We had a good laugh at how silly it sounds ..but they do the job :-)

I started out taking flintstones when I first had surgery. Now I don't have any trouble swallowing pills so I am taking viactiv flavor glides. They taste good on the tongue and have all the essential vitamins and minerals. Don't forget to take your calcium too. I use the citracal creamy bites (sinfully good).

My family and I take Agel MIN pack once a day. My son loves it as they taste like a Flintstone. I reminds me of taking a jello shot LOL. It is also able in your country. This is my post to tell you more about me and why I am in this community. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f18/i-want-help-ronnie-sipgel-biz-41945/ I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
