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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
