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!

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.

My nutritionist cautioned me about gummies as they can contain high amounts of sugar. You want to watch for that.

I use the Celebrate brand of chewable vitamins and supplements and they taste fine, with the exception of iron, which I could not tolerate. I went to the Patch MD iron patches and so far so good.

@Erykah2017 I was deficient before surgery and on pills.. not sure why I need to be on liquid for 6 weeks

I use Flintstones chewables and theyre not that bad.

I can't take gummies my first month.

My nutritionist said she prefers Flintstones complete chewable and they're not bad.

They recommended Flintstones chewable for me. Gummies are not good because they do not contain the iron you need. I really never heard of patches. Thanks for information. ?

Centrum kids is good too.

Patch MD multi. Slap it on. I put mine on overnight. Leave it on for 8 hours. Absorbs thru the skin. Cleveland clinic is happy with my blood results. I also use b12 patch. I'm 7 months out. You can buy it on this website store.

That and everywhere I read says chewables absorb better. Glad I'm reading all this stuff now.

As for what MV I take I'll wait until my next appointments with my surgeon and RD to ask that. They mentioned taking prenatal vitamins long ago. At least I don't need to buy tampons.
