Gummy Vitamins

[littlefroggy 0]

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

It's like a soft Gummy candy - a little marshmallowy. Not sticky though... I wonder if I shouldn't have bought them?

I have a hard time iwth chewable vitamins, and my DR actually told me about the gummy vitamins. She told me to take 2 children's Gummy Vitamins. I haven't gotten them yet, but plan to.

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>

IF you like em, I have a whole bottle. They made me gag sooo bad. When I was a little girl my sister and i ate a bottle of flinstone Vitamins. We had to have our stomachs pumped. I have not been able to tolerate chewable vitamins ever since..:crying:

I use gummy vitamins, Just chew well and I usually have them with my 1 cup of coffe in the mornig. I'm sure that helps melt them.

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 use the Flintstone gummies. I love them and never had a problem with them getting stuck. I just bought my son some gummy vitamins by Sundown Kids (?). They are super hero Vitamins and I tried them and I like them too. They are much softer than the Flintstones, almost like a gumdrop.
