February 28, 20188 yr Hello all! I will be sleeved on Monday March 5th!!!! Super excited!!!! I have a question.... What are the best bariatric multivitamins out there??? And where have you purchased them???I appreciate any and all the help!!?[emoji4]
February 28, 20188 yr I get my vitamins at Costco. Inexpensive and good quality. Advice that I've been given at my monthly meetings, don't go into a vitamin shop and ask for vitamins for post bariatric surgery. They will sell you hundreds of dollars of vitamins you don't need. You will need to take a multi vitamin, calcium citrate not carbonate (the body doesn't absorb it as well) a b12 sublingual pill.

And where have you purchased them???I appreciate any and all the help!!?[emoji4]I would look for "compare to..." brands Also buy from somewhere with an easy return policy... I like Sam's club member Mark multi vitamin gummies. Tastes like candy and 320 for $10! (comparable to vitafusion)

And where have you purchased them???I appreciate any and all the help!!?[emoji4]I got mine from walmart! My nutritionist wants us to take 2 flinstone completes, calcium citrate (which I got a big off brand bottle at Kroger for like 8 bucks), a sublingual b12, iron (if you're a women and have your period still),and vitamin D. I got all of mine at either Walmart or Kroger, and the good thing about Kroger is most of the time certain brands are buy one get one free! From my support groups, the only one I see people actually buying from bariatric advantage is the calcium citrate as chews. They made me nauseous though, so I take mine as pills. I feel great, I just had blood work done, so I'll know at the end of next week if they're working!

February 28, 20188 yr I am not making a plug for Bariatric Vitamins but here goes. For me I thought about what I had just went thru and knowing that I am in this forever. I felt like I should at least buy the Bariatric vitamins. I tried the Flintstones and they were horrible, I tried the Chewable Centrum vitamins but man they are so nasty I ouldn't handle them. I have taken CELEBRATE Capsule for the whole time after trying the ones that made me sick. Another thing about me is I started taking chewable Vitamin C, they tasted so good kind of like a sour candy which I love beyond love anything sweet and tangy. Not good for me when I was woofing them down like candy. lol I buy CELEBRATE at Amazon. I like the fact that they are capsule and if need be you could open them and put them in applesauce or something while you are early out. Just my take on vitamins.
March 1, 20188 yr I take flinstone Multivitamins, Alive B-complex gummies, and Bariatric Advantage calcium chews. I don’t care for capsules, so I opt for chewables/gummies. I don’t love the Flinstone multivitamins, but they meet my nutritionist’s standards. Love love love the B-complex and Calcium chews. I tried the Celebrate multivitamins, but they made me vomit almost immediately! They just didn’t work for me. I get everything from Amazon.

March 4, 20188 yr My program doesn't let us do gummies so I'll be going on Amazon soon enough to get things Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
March 4, 20188 yr Ok, I tried quite a few. Some made me gak. Some even made me hurl. Some were just so hard to swallow. Sigh. But here's what I ended up with and I LOVE sparkleheart love them. They are worth the extra bucks--especially since now I eat so very little! Celebrate 3-in-1 Drink Mix Multi-vit, Calcium, Fiber - Citrus Splash (tastes like Tang) - take 1 per day Celebrate Chewable Vitamin - orange - take 1 per day Celebrate Watermelon Chewy Bite Calcium - 500mg cal citrate - take 1 per day Celebrate Chocolate Chewy Bite Calcium - 500mg calc citrate- take 1 per day Celebrate Tangerine Iron + C Chewable - 18mg iron - take 1 per day Celebrate Wild Cherry Sublingual B12 - 1000mg - take 1 every other day Celebrate Thiamine Capsule 100mg - take 1 per day Vitacost Vitamin D3 Capsule 2000mg - take 1 every 3 days Ok, that's it. It cost me about $130bucks for about 3-4 months of vitamins. I think that is do-able, since I spent more on that on crap in 3-4 months and had nothing to show for it. Now I will have a smokin' hot bod and healthy organs and bones and muscles. It's the gift that keeps on givin'!!! And the best vitamins are the ones that are really assimilatable and ones that you will take every day with consistency!!!
March 4, 20188 yr Celebrate chewables made me nauseated to the nth degree, I had to crush and put in peanut butter just to comply. I now take Centrum 50+ for women 2x/day, B1, D3, B12, and Rainbow light calcium citrate 3x/day, Triple Calm magnesium (leg cramp miracle). Biotin, folic acid - for hair regrowth. Annoyingly too many pills lol
