I just ordered Bariatric Advantage Multi vitamin which is a chewable and it is absolutely disgusting. Literally, makes me sick. The cool thing is that they have everything I need except calcium so I'm only taking 2 vitamins and 2 chewables per day. My surgeon did not approve me taking the patch and says their isn't enough research on them. Anyone have a better tasting multi vitamin that has everything? Trying to get this sorted before surgery next Wednesday

Thanks!

My NUT/Doc approved me to take Centrum Silver chewables since anything else made me gag. I have to take a double dose daily and calcium. I also take iron because I had an iron deficiency prior to surgery & have taken it for years.

You're the best! Do they help? Taste better?

I'm all about the patches!! RNY 10/24. Down 82 pounds. Labs all back normal on the patches.

That's awesome! Idk why my surgeon won't approve them [emoji848] does yours say they're fine?

I use the Celebrate brand chewable supplements, including my multivitamin, and they are more than tolerable. I recommend them.

That said, I could not tolerate any oral iron supplements so I am using the patches for iron, by Patch MD . So far so good with my levels.

Yes. He didn't have any experience with them but with my labs looking good and me having no issues he is fine with them.

My surgeon and NUT will not approve patches.

Centrum made me sick, I been eating the gummies, but my surgeon don't know.

I'd recommend talking to them about letting you try the patches and seeing how your blood work looks. I've been using them for 6 months and all is good. I admit, I only switched to them after someone else seeing my surgeon was a 'guinea pig' and tried them for a few months and did regular blood work as well. So they do seem to work, and I love that I don't have to chew anything, and it prevents me from having take them with food to prevent an upset stomach.

I use the Centrum adult chewables (not the silver) it tastes like orange. I also take two calcium chews. And liquid iron at the moment which tastes foul. Apparently I have to be on the liquid iron until 6 weeks post op... ugh

I know! I love the idea of them. Girl I've pleaded he just said there isn't enough research to back it. I find that strange because everyone I know who takes the patches have great success

Mines either, do you take them anyway?

What about the gummy vitamins? Anyone have info on those. They seem to b all I can take. In multivitamin and calcium. I also do 1 vitamin D drop at night.
