I have everything ready for my pre and post-op, but I do not know what vitamins to get. Does anyone have any suggestions, anything chewable (duh!) and fruit flavored... And chewable calcium too...?

I get the gummi vitamins and take 4 a day (child's dose is 2 a day double for an adult) does not taste like vitamin and is fruit flavored. I get the Wal*Mart brand. as for the calcium, I found one at the vitamin shoppe that is citrus flavored. can't remember the name right now but if you go in to a store and ask for their calcium citrate chew ables , they can direct you to them. you have to take several a day to get the recommended dose. I am looking for one that is petite and not chew able as it is too chalky for me. and the liquids are not for me at all. good luck

ask your surgeon and nutritionist what they suggest, they can be a big help. Mine insists on calcium citrate where others just say calcium.

I got chewable Vitamins from Building Blocks: Building Blocks - Essential Bariatric supplements

They specialize in vitamins for bariatric surgery patients. I also got chewable glucosamine from Vitamins: Alternative Health Supplements & Vitamin Nutrition Supplements - VitaminShoppe.com

My doctor recommended calcium citrate, multi-vitamin without Iron, iron supplement taken at least hours later than calcium, and B-12 spray. I take the multi-vitamin, calcium, and B-12 in the morning and evening, glucosamine in the morning, Fiber Choice in the morning and evening, Pepcid Complete in the morning and evening, and iron in the mid-afternoon. Believe, taking all these vitamins is like eating a meal!

I use a liquid vitamin. I think it is pretty good. I just take a shot glass and fill it half was full. I dont think it tastes bad either. no chalky residue in the mouth either.

Centrum has chewable fruit flavor and I got chocolate calicum citrate lozenges from Bariatric advantage (internet) but I dont like them, The nutritionist said to try Citrical chewy bites

I use liquid Vitamins that come mixed with apricot nectar from Hi Health. As long as I hold my breath and don't smell them, they taste fine!

For calcium, I found some chocolate calcium chews (Spring Valley brand) at WalMart that taste great, like tootsie rolls. They are 500 mg per piece, with Vitamin D and K.

Centrum chewable orange flavored for me

I was banded on October 26 and I have lost 26 lbs. I feel great and I started a walking program, which thrills me. The first weeks were horrible because I felt like I was starving to death. Then I got use to it. I began taking liquid vitamins which made me feel like I had energy then I started to adjust. For anyone that has not found a vitamin,

Welcome to My Vemma Site - This is the site where it gives the info on the product I use.

I take 2 Chewble kids vitamins everyday (store brand, similar to Flintstones) and also found a chewable calcium at the pharmacy, too.
