My nutritionist said I may need chewable vitamins. I found chewable adult Vitamins at Target. I bought the Omega 3, muti, C, and Calcium. They all taste good and only the multi is very chewy like a Gummy bear, the rest are more mushy.

Does anyone else use these? I want to see if I will still be able to use them once I am banded (late August date.)

Thanks!! :biggrin2:

I wouldn't try it- it may get stuck??? It's not really "chewable" enough so you can break it down with your teeth, or is it???

Hmmmm

I just bought some Centrum chewable vitamins and they chew to a powder very easily. They taste pretty chalky though, not a strong flavor, just that kind of gaggy texture and I notice I taste them for quite a while after I take them. I'm hoping to get used to them before my band, but I might have to try the gummies.< /p>

I use the gummies too, I now have to switch as they are now getting stuck, I don't like regular chewables as I can't stand the taste, they tend to gag me. So the doctor told me to get regular ones and cut them up, into halves or thirds.

I use the gummies from Target and have no problems whatsoever. And I have very good restriction too (6.5cc in a 10cc band). They're easy to chew up and they melt as you chew them too.

I can't stand any of the chewables I've tried. The Viactiv were ok but had a bit of a chalky aftertaste that I didn't care for. The gummies taste like candy.< /p>

I have 8.?? in a 10cc band and I just started using gummy vitamins. I LOVE them. I have never been able to make myself take Vitamins, but these are good. I just got a small bottle at our local grocery store, but I will be getting a big bottle. They ROCK!!

Littlefroggy, what kind of chewable Calcium did you get? I had a bad reaction to the Viactive and am looking for one to replace it. I also use the chewable Centrum orange flavored and they remind me of baby aspirin. Not bad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
