Gummy Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I would stay away from gummy vitamins, and just take regular Vitamins. They just contain too much sugar, and don't have enough vitamins and minerals to make them worth it.

I can't stand chewable vitamins either. I had to throw all of mine away as soon as I could swallow regular vitamins (one week out). It felt like I was chewing on two or three Tums a few times per day.

There are some good bariatric vitamins out there though. Look for the 100%s. I overlook any Vitamin that doesn't have a lot of them.

Ugh. I've been looking for an hour and can't find anything that fits what I am supposed to take without being huge or multiple per day. I found one that is a one capsule/day but the % were SO high, it didn't seem safe. One of the Vitamins was 17,000% . Yikes. I really liked the idea of 1 per day though.

Any brand name suggestions? I'm totally fine swallowing capsules at 4 weeks out.

I take the vita fusion woman’s Multivitamin metabolism and bone support gummies. I love them. They are high in Iron B12 b6 and folic acid. I supplement with a Calcium + Vitamin D chewable as well.

I would take the Vitafusion Multivitamins. They taste kinda like fruit Snacks and the same consistency. Now I just swallow a multivitamin and do Gummy Calcium (also Vitafusion).

      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? 🤷‍♀️
