Hi. I was banded a week ago and my doctor wants me to start on a chewable mulit tomorrow. Anyone have any suggestions as to which brand is one of the better ones? Thanks so much.

I take the chewable Centrum vitamins and drink soy milk, 1/4 cup.

Just FYI, Centrum Silver chewables have no iron, so women who menstruate need to have their blood checked for anemia periodically. Plain iron supplements are available.

I take the centrium silver as well. I'm going to try that caltrate plus D.

Is the caltrate calcium citrate? I think I saw on TV an add for liquid. That would be great.

I'm not sure. I was told to make sure I use the calcium citrate and not the calcium carbonate.

I'm taking the Vitaband vitamins, the new Berry flavor. I love the flavor, the watermelon made me want to barf towards the end of my 90 day supply. I'm having an issue though... two times in a row now I've been denied donating blood because my iron is too low. I'm at 12.3 and they want it 12.5 or above. I'm kinda freaked out because my iron level was more like 17 before I got banded. I talked with my surgeon and he didn't seem that alarmed. I'd love to hear from other who find the multi-vitamin is just not enough and what you do to supplement it.

I wanted to tell people that vitacost.com has anything you could possibly need and at very good prices. Their shipping is 4.99 no matter how much you order. I ordered a bunch of stuff, plus the chewable calcium citrate and chewable vitamins.

The orange flavored Centrum chewable ones. They're fine for me :drool:

Me, too! I use Target's brand of chewable calcium.

I've been taking 2 Flintstones Chewables for years.

Whenever I mention it to a Dr. they all say the same thing - Perfect.

I could not stand the taste of the Bariatric Advantage vitamins. I was silly and signed up for the auto delivery option before even trying it. Well it took months of telling them I wanted to cancel before they actually canceled the autoship. I suggest the Bariceutrical liquid vitamins and protein. They taste great and are individually packaged so its easy to keep up with. Good luck everyone!
