I didn't have gastric, but I have been looking into the same thing as I don't think I am getting enough from food intake. I am looking into the liquid vitamins and Patches now.

I had to switch to chewable Flintstones because regular Multi Vitamins make me very nauseous.

I just take two Centrum Silvers (or the generic equivalent) every day. I also have to take B12, B1, D, Calcium, and Iron in separate pills on top of that since we need more of those than are in standard Multivitamins (at least gastric bypass patients do). It could be that the bariatric specific multivitamins include most/all of the extra we need - but I'm not sure. I've never take bariatric specific ones.

Are you able to cut them? Maybe you could cut it in half and take it twice a day to help you tolerate them?

I just take ALIVE Gummy one-a-day Vitamins and separately Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Iron, and Calcium pills. I have the RX B12 nasal spray. I don't know if I am doing enough but I will find out in another 2 1/2 months when I do lab work again.

(I also take Biotin and collagen pills for my hair, even though there is a lot of debate on whether that actually works with Hair loss. I read it helps with regrowth, so I will continue to take it - even though I haven't experienced the dreaded hair loss yet).

I take Flinstones chewable 2 per day. I had bought bariatric45 90 day supply and I cant tolerate them at this point. I am hoping that may change later on.

I take 1 Bariatric Complete multivitamin and 2 Celebrate multivitamins (without Iron for the Celebrate) a day. And 2 calcium citrate from Bariatric Advantage (my Calcium was high last test so I cut back to 2, I was taking 3). The Celebrate multi's are the easiest on my stomach.

I've been taking BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE capsules for six months. I've had my blood work done twice and everything is fine. I've had no problem tolerating the capsule. Also, BariatricPal's Multivitamin annual subscription (four bottles) costs much lower than most other bariatric multivitamins.

I can’t seem to stand the taste of the Bariatric Fusion Orange anymore. I bought them for the simple fact I would only need to buy B12. Any suggestions for ones that taste good??

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
