Any suggestions!?

I understand they make vitamin patches if you would want to try them.

1. Centrum chewables...about $9 for a 3-month supply
2. Flintstones complete (not the gummies)...take 2 per day

The best thing is that these can be found over the counter at any Walmart, Target, Walgreens, or supermarket in most cities.

If you're a DS patient, I don't think the Flintstones vitamins will be enough.

I have some of the Bariatric Fusion mixed berry flavored vitamins... they're not terrible. They kind of remind me of the Flinstone's vitamins. I also have some of the BariMelts calcium/magnesium chewable and they taste ok to me too. Like the orange Flinstone's (I always liked Flinstone's vitamins... maybe I'm weird lol)

The "FLINTSTONE VITAMIN taste horrible!! When I went to my New Bariatric Center, which I had been going to my Surgeon's office, anyhow the new Dr. told me to take 2 flintstone vitamins plus iron. MAN O MIGHTY those are yucky to say the least. I have used CELEBRATE mostly every since I had my RNY. I buy the capsules and I was told by my DR if they are to big to swallow you can open them and sprinkle it on whatever you want. But I have not had any problems with swallowing them. I figure that I went thru major surgery and I need the Bariatric vitamins I have seen past WLS peeps (like 30 years ago) who are having bad things going on because they didn't use the vitamins that were needed. I don't want to make any mistakes. It might take years before you notice something is wrong. Make sure to get all of your blood work done. It is so important. Have a great day!!

I think the Flintstones Complete taste good. Different strokes for different folks.

Anyhow, since I have a sleeve gastrectomy, I don't have the malabsorptive component that would necessitate use of bariatric multivitamins.

Like you said, Different strokes for different folks!! Because I had the RNY I definitely don't want to take any chances. I don't know which surgery Micky701 is having but I think we covered all bases.

Centrum chewables... orange flavor

Agree!

I know u need the iron and biotin is important ill take a look maybe ill try the capsules if they dont go down ill get something else

Bariatric advantage soft chews are like a starbursts.

Was taking several different store bought vitamins as I couldn't find one vitamin that had it all until I took the facebook vitamin challenge. Now I take two chewable watermelon Celebrate vitamins a day and am so glad I do. Check them out, they have different flavors.

Has anyone tried the Celebrate 3-in-1 multi vitamin powder? I am considering doing the citrus for the first 3 months after surgery? Opinions?

Centrum Chewables orange flavor really isn't that bad a little acidic but i like it.

I really like strawberry flavored Barimelts multivitamins. These melt really fast in your mouth and I don't mind them at all. Anything else I've tried made me gag. One brand I absolutely cannot stomach is ProCare Health Bariatric Chewable multivitamins. In fact, if someone wants 29 tablets, you can have them for free, including shipping. I chewed one tablet and about turned inside out. These are citrus flavored and you're supposed to chew one daily.
