Good multivitamin ... not chalky ?



Recommended Posts

Yuck... I can barely stomach the prescribed Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin (taking two that are so huge and chalky when you chew them is nearly impossible and I’m beginning to literally gag). Ant recommendation for an alternative that palatable ? Thank you, in advance

I used Centrum liquid that I bought from Amazon the first few months. It’s orange flavored, definitely Vitamin flavored but it was easy to shoot down and get it over with.

I had used Centrum Silver chewables before switching to costco brand Multi Vitamins. If you have a CVS pharmacy nearby they have their version, Spectravite which are less expensive.

I'm interested in this but where are you getting it? GNC website shows out of stock and it seems like they haven't made it since 2017, at least going by reviews.

Edited to add: It seems they have an energy one but it has caffeine and green tea in it, which I'm not looking for.

I use a childrens Gummy Vitamin. I take at least two a day.

I was actually recommend Flinstones gummy vitamins by someone.

Can't remember who.

don't get mad, but a lot of us were told to avoid gummies and Flintstones. Something like a Centrum chewable (or the generic equivalent) usually has everything we need.

Have you tried swallowing a pill in thick liquid like a Protein Shake or Tomato juice?

As soon as you can tolerate capsules go that route. I never found a chewable I liked.

I was given the option of Celebrate chewable or celebrate capsule. I prefer capsules too. And they are so much smaller than the chewable.

I wonder why Gummy Multi Vitamins are not recommended ?

I wasn't sure (I just knew that a lot of us were told not to take them), so I just googled it. The bariatric program at Johns Hopkins was one of the first to pop up. It said to avoid them because they don't contain all the Vitamins & minerals that we need.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
