How many Flinstone Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

Actually they are costco kiddy Vitamins but since they are chewable it's almost like eating a sweet tart. Unfortunatly the % of diet numbers really don't make sense since they were meant for little kids. How many of those should I be chewing up? I currently eat 4 in the morning but I want to make sure my nutrition and vitamins levels are where they need to be.

I take the Walmart brand of childrens chewables. On the label it says for children take 1/2 once a day for adults take 1 a day. I compaired them to all the others and they had the most % in them. My Dr. has me taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm.

My doctor said if to take 2 flinstone chewable Vitamins daily. I bought the chewables that they sell on obesityhelp.com, I received them yesterday and they taste vitamee. So for now I will use them but later on I may switch to another. Can you tell me how you post the ticker at the bottom of you post, I can create it, but don't know what to copy and how to post it?

Thanks,

Corgi

My doctor just said two of whatever children's brand I like, or one adult chewable. I get mine at costco. I also take additional Vitamin E and a B-complex, both of which are easy to swallow.

Alex, several WLS patients that I know take extra B vit's. Have you noticed if they help your energy level?

Um, well, not really, I guess. I do notice that if I don't take any Vitamins for several days in a row I start to drag, but I can't isolate the effect of any of them in particular. I've always taken E but started adding the B when last summer my surgeon noticed my levels were borderline-low. And since insufficiencies can lead to irreversible neurological problems, he suggested a supplement. I agreed. :)

My doc told me to take one flintstone in the am and one in the pm. He also has me take one Tums in the am and pm. The tums adds Calcium ( which we women all need plenty of) and it also neutralizes stomach acid early in the morning and before bed.

Hope this helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
