Bariatric Advantage Vitamins

Has anyone used vitamins from Bariatric Advantage? Chewable? Gummies? Taste? Need to find a vitamin and need help. My dr said I didn't have to do chewable or crush them. He said I could do any vitamins I wanted. So I am confused even more.

I use the kind you swallow by Bariatric Advantage. They're three big horse pills per dose, but I hate chewables. I like them well enough.


My Dr recommended the bariatric advantage chewable as it is complete...no additional vitamins needed. It is four tablets. I like the mixed berry.

I cannot stand the flavor of the Bariatric Advantage chewable multi-vitamins. I'm shopping around for a better flavor. I dread taking them 2x a day. I'm a DS patient, so I have to have them for life. I've got to find something I can live with because Bariatric Advantage makes me shiver/gag when I take them.

I currently use the Bariatric advantage chewable vitamins, the favor is citrus. I don't have a issue with the taste, plus I only have to take one pill because it has almost all the vitamins that I need. Prior to using the chewable vitamin I used the Bariatric Advantage pill that you swallow, that was difficult for me after my surgery.

I love Barimelts brand vitamins and calcium tablets. I had a lot of trouble with nausea with swallowable vitamins, and other chewables made me gag. These dissolve, taste decent, and don't make me nauseous. I order them on Amazon.

I have tried all the Bariatric Advantage vitamins. I prefer the chews. The capsules I had a very hard time getting down and I would find myself skipping them. I tried the chewable tablets - they made me gag. The chews are my choice.

I use CELEBRATE in capsules. I rtake 2 a day. I was told if they were to bigg I could open them and sprinkle them on some applesauce or yogurt, I never had a probem with them. The capsules go down pretty good. I am 4 years out and have always taken them. I did try the Centrum chewable right after my RNY but I couldn't stand the sweetness. That is when I started taking Celebrate. Good Vitamins.

I use the chewable vitamins and calcium chews and chewable iron from bariatric advantage. They are all ok. Hated the calcium crystals could not stand them in anything.


Before I say this ,I want to preface that you should always check with your doctor before taking anything after bariatric surgery. I bought the BariatricPal chewables and could hardly tolerate swallowing them. Checking in with the surgeon during a regular follow up appointment, I asked if there were any alternatives to these. She said I could substitute Flintsones complete chewable. Not only do are they so much less expensive, they taste okay. Been taking them ever since and it's been over 3 years and labs have always been good.
