i use Walmart brand chewables compare to flintstones .

[bandster_1007 1]

i take two flinstone's a day.

i was taking a prenatal for a while, but my ob/gyn was so stupid that she put me on one that was for people who eat a really healthy diet. so i got a severe Vitamin deficiency and i'm still paying for it.

it made me severly fatiqued, achy, and i had sore like things on each side of my lips, my tongue, etc. (and yes i went to a doctor and it was a Vitamin deficiency). i was freaking out because i thought i had cold sores for over a month ( i was sick, but i didn't think i was that sick ...lol).

so, to sum up my point, make sure you take a vitamin, no matter what it is. and that crap about not absorbing is stupid, after one week of flinstone's (2 per day) my sores were cleared up.

Viactive chewables are the best ! and u feel like you are getting a treat because they are chocolate. I also have a bottle of Centrum liquid, but it tastes like metal.. yuck, but loaded with everything.

good luck!

right now I am taking one prenatal Vitamin A day. Should I be taking something else? Are we suppose to take calcium citrate? Someone mentioned Viactive, do they have those with Calcium in them?

[PATCHELTON 0]

For those interested in Viactiv (don't know about their multi) the Calcium is Calcium carbonate (as my dietician reminded me when I told her I had bought some) which is not absorbed as well as calcium citrate, and she preferred I used the citrate.

For a multi, I bought a sampler of Bariatric Advantage, but ended up buying Centrum Silver (I'm a senior) chewable. For caclium citrate I found some by Twin Labs at a Healthy Options store. Pricey ($17.99 for 60 wafers, a 15 day supply) but tasted good. I finally did a search online, going to Twin Labs web site and checked where to buy and found a site that sold it for around $7.67 (big difference). I also use their liquid fish oil ($13.99 at Healthy Options, $6 and change online). I ordered enough for two months ($4.99 S&H) and opted for auto shipments every 60 days. The site is vitacost and the S&H is the same for any size shipment. So even with the shipping charge I am paying half of what I was paying at Healthy Options. It took a little digging to find the fish oil but they had it. It is mint flavored, and if you can get past the visual reminder of Milk of Magnesia, it really doesn't taste bad. A tablespoon give 1600mg of Omega 3's. I found it after my surgeon said I could start up my meds again post-op, and my fish oil was a huge gelcap that I couldn't cut in half.

Is it ok to take a chewable Vitamin during your two weeks post op?

[bandster_1007 1]

i found a small fish oil at Walmart that i use and i only have to take one a day.

Is it ok to take a chewable Vitamin during your two weeks post op?

That depends on your doctor. Mine wanted us to start the Vitamins two weeks pre-op and on the first day home from the hospital post op. I had Vitamins in my IV while in the hospital. :frown:
