Chew able Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

So just curious what chewable you guys use or do you use a dissolve-able all around Vitamin? I have not had surgery yet but trying to get used to the chewy Vitamins. Which one has the best taste? Aftertaste?

I liked Centrum chewables and had them until month six then went on regular centrum advanced.

I have used the Celebrate brand of multi with Iron (forest berry flavor), chewable tablet. It tastes ok. But now I have switched to the multi capsules (now that I can swallow at 14 weeks post op). I still take the Celebrate brand of Calcium with Vitamin D-3 and the flavor is orange burst. They are okay.... not crazy about the flavor. I also tried the Bariatric Advantage chocolate soft chews, they were real tasty, but I decided they were too high in calories and carbs for me and I switched back to the Celebrate brand for Calcium.

At my pre-op class they gave us a little bag with different Vitamins to try and that's how I made my decision to go with the Celebrate brand. I am sure there are a lot of different ones to choose from.

I was told that we should not do Vitamin gummies as they didn't have the appropriate nutrients for us after bariatric surgery. I think it's important to go with the bariatric Vitamins after surgery, and not just your regular vitamins that you would find at a grocery store.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
