Sleevers....What brand multi vitamin are you taking?

Flintstones makes a Bariatric multi?

Also, I think the "bariatric multi" is just another way to capitalize. My Flintstones Multivitamin chewable that I get from Amazon, literally offers every vitamin/nutrient listed in a special bariatric Vitamin.

Perhaps not as much of it by the looks of the labels, but enough for me to reach the (or above the) necessary daily value.

I am taking Bariatric Advantage chewables and not crazy about them

I am taking Celebrate one a day chewable until I start Iron. Then I’m switching to ProCare one a day Tropical with iron and their calcium chews. I wasn’t a fan of ProCare’s berry which I received a sample of first, so I called and requested the tropical which they happily sent. I definitely wanted a one a day. ProCare’s samples are free and they have good customer service.

Calcium Citrate a chewable? Amazon?

I think it’s personal choice. Both are big. chewable doesn’t get stuck, but I’ve taken Tylenol and other capsules with no problem.

My physician’s office (and the other practice I considered) specifically said not to take certain brands of bariatric Vitamins because they don’t have the same nutritional value. Celebrate, Unjury (Opurity), and Bariatric Advantage are well known and they said their patients also had very good levels with ProCare.

I have heard if you don’t opt for a bariatric Vitamin, Flinstones (2 or three.. not sure) are an option.

I don’t “love” the chewable, but it’s not bad. The calcium chews on the other hand are delicious, but I have to wait until 1 month post-op to restart.

The sample packs include both the chewable and capsule so it’s a good way to try both and see if you have a preference. My biggest thing is whichever one I got, it had to be a one a day.

I bought the OPURITY® Bariatric Multivitamin With Iron chewable supplements (90 Day Supply) thinking it would be easier to take, they would be absorbed better ( I am super worried about malabsorption) and I would only need 1 a day. But I wish I had tried them first - the taste is hard to describe - chalk with super tart berries. It’s painful to take even 1. I think I might toss them - I’ve got enough challenges. Trying to chew a multivitamin should not be one of them.
I was told to avoid gummies. I might opt for a pill instead.

Thanks for the heads up. I know to avoid opurity. This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
