Multi vitamins!! HELP



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

      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.
