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.

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)

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!

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.

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.< /p>

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!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
