My surgeon and nutrisionist pointed us towards Bariatric Advantage chewables. Kind of like Starburst. What are some other good ones out there? What are you taking??

I've always taken Centrum Silver (or the generic equivalent). I used the chewable version for about the first year, then switched over to the regular tablets.

if you go with a standard multivitamin, you have to take two a day to meet the requirements. Also, you may have to take extra of some vitamins as some multis don't contain enough of certain vitamins for us. I had RNY, so my requirements are probably higher than yours. In addition to my multis, I take vitamin D, iron (with C if my iron tablets don't contain any C), B1, and B12. I don't think most sleevers need that many extras, but you'd know that better than I would.

Thanks Cat7. That is the kind of info I am looking for.

I take:
Bariatric Choice One daily multivitamin with iron
Kirkland Signature Vitamin D3
Nature Made Super B energy complex
Celebrate calcium chews

I got the sleeve. Had my 3 month labs done recently and I’m doing great on all levels, even running a little high on vitamin D so I could potentially cut that back to every other day if I wanted. The pills are super easy to take, no problems or concerns, and the price is pretty darn reasonable. When I run out of the calcium chews I’m thinking I’m going to cut the Kirkland signature calcium tablets in half (they’re pretty big) to sub for those.

I happen to love the Bariatric Advantage chewables and hand haven't tried anything else since I discovered them. I particularly like the grape ones. I also use their chewable calcium. As you said, they are like Starburst--and they are honestly sort of a treat every morning!
