So my nutritionist suggested Flinstones chewable vitamins at my multivitamin.. I got a generic store brand version and she approved them. They are kinda gross but I can deal with that! I’m just concerned or wondering if there is something better. I know there’s tons of brand and soft chews and all that but they are soo expensive! So if those 2 and half month supply of knock of Flinstones chewables for $6 is just as good as the $30-40 one month supply then I will stick with them! Just curious is anyone else was suggested the Flinstones vitamins..

My team recommends 2 flinstone complete, calcium citrate plus Vitamin D-3 1200-1500 mg/day (500-600mg 2-3 times a day- three if post menopause) and B12 500 mcg/day (sublingual)

I've always taken Centrum or the generic equivalent (both CVS and Walgreens carry generic equivalents)

my clinic did recommend Flintstones, but I know the ASBMS (Amer Soc of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery) does not recommend children's Vitamins, so I decided to go with Centrum. I asked the dietitian about Centrum before I started taking them, and she said they were fine (I take two a day). As long as your vitamins meet the ASBMS standards, they should be fine (mine do...)

I take GNC soft chews, and yes they're on the expensive side, but they work best for me because they don't make me sick to my stomach like a lot of Vitamins do and they make me feel like I'm eating something.

My clinic also said no flintstones and suggested Centrum as budget option. Amazon will do subscription services for vitamins and supplements and deliver them every month.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
