Multi Vitamins - Could someone recommend non chalky ones



Recommended Posts

Could someone recommend non-chalky Multi Vitamins - I mean, are there gummies or any other consistency that aren't the huge horse pills that are all chalky?

I am about to gag on those.

Are you able to swallow? If so, the Centrum complete Vitamins will suffice.

My nutritional lab work comes back with perfect results every time. The bariatric vitamins aren't really needed for sleeve patients since we don't have that malabsorptive component.

If you can't swallow, the Centrum complete chewables cost about $8 for a 3 month supply. There's also the Flintstone complete vitamins (not the gummies!).

I chew Celebrate. Yes they are big but they aren't unbearable. Flintstones etc are for kids and don't give us what we need. But I guess for those who can't tolerate the others it's better than nothing. I do the celebrate comp with Iron. I just bought the cal citrate plus D and I chew neocell Biotin chews

The multi is 2 per day, cal is about 6 per day.

I take Wild berry Bariatric Fusion which is a chewable and doesn't really taste chalky to me. It goes down easy and tastes like candy.

I don't like the patch (it falls off) and we do, too, have some malabsorption issues.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
