I usually don't digest Vitamins too well, but I've tried the bariatric pal chews and they are working well for me. They come in 4 flavors and my surgeons office gave me the samples.

I'm taking BariMelts. I really like them.

My program gave me several options to choose from.

I ended up choosing 2 Flintstone complete a day for a multivitamin (the target or Walmart brands were approved as ok). I went with that because I knew I could tolerate it, their price and they are easily available. (That was one of 4 options they gave me). I asked about Patches - they said no to those.

I also take ez-melts B complex.

I take two other Vitamins beyond their program requirements, but I always have (including a prescription Vitamin D).

They won’t have me add any other vitamins until they do my labs at my follow up, including Calcium. They said most people get enough calcium in their diets - so I might not need to take that one.

I've always taken Centrum Silver or the generic equivalent. If you take grocery store/drug store Vitamins, you have to take two a day (some of the bariatric specific ones you only have to take one a day)

My surgeon recommends Celebrate bariatric Vitamins and thiamine supplements pre surgery (and Celebrate Vitamins after()
