I was seeing a naturopath before my surgery and taking all kinds of Vitamins. Now that i can't swallow pills, just wondering what Vitamins is everyone taking or if you have any suggestions.

I was taking stuff for my thyroid, Iron, to regulate my cycle.

thanks:help:

Hi. I started out with chewable Flintstones for kids. But, then I came across Viactiv for Calcium and multi-vitamins. I prefer that because it's like a treat every time I take them. I have chocolate flavored, but did have caramel calcium. Wonderful.

I ordered my Vitamins from www.bbvitamins. They are especially formulated for bariatric patients. There are some for lap band surgeries and some for gastric bypass. I was given some samples and they tasted really good.

Thanks! I just ordered a 90-day supply of Multivitamins, calcium citrate, and Iron. I also found a source of chewable glucosamine at Vitamins: Alternative Health supplements & Vitamin Nutrition supplements - VitaminShoppe.com. I think I'm set! :)

I take some Vitamins my personal trainer recommended, they are called juice plus Juice Plus+ - Health and Wellness Product, Whole food Based Nutrition, fruit Nutrition, Antioxidant food and Vegetables

They have chewable ones. I dont know that I will take them after I am done with the ones I have now. they are a bit pricey . But they do the job for now

I saw a commercial for something called Joint juice that I'm going to check into for my glucosamine. I just need to see how many calories and how much sugar.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
