your favorite chewable vitamin...



Recommended Posts

I'm telling you - the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins taste horrific! I have challenged my bariatric nutritionist to investigate chewable vitamins. Concerning the sugar issue, surely the amount in one Vitamin is somewhat negligible. Do any of you crush a regular Vitamin and eat it with pudding/yogurt?

Please understand that everyone that undergoes any form of weight loss surgery their taste buds change as other love the Vitamins and others do not. But there are different flavors that you can choose from and from what I know if you ask for some samples they will give them out free of charge before committing to a larger bottle. Hope this helps at all

Is it wrong that I am not taking a chewable Vitamin but swallowing a daily Multi-Vitamin in pill form?? I was taking chewable vitamins (Centrum) after surgery for a few months, but then I switched to the pill form. My doc didn't seem to think it was a problem. Should I not be able to swallow a pill? It's not a small pill either.. I'm thinking it's time for a fill!:smile2:

I am taking Flintstones now, they have a new Improved Taste one that just came out, Purple is my favorite so far. I have take Centrum Orange and they are too grose! M Doc said to take the Flintstones and that alot of her patients take the Cosco brand called Kirklands and they they are small enough to swallow but I have not seen any that I thought would be small enough. I only take 1 Flintstone because the bottle says one for adults. They have a big bottle at Cosco of the Flitstones that is a good deal.

Well, I was doing Flinstones, but the aftertaste was killing me!! So, I bought the Centrum orange ones... they taste nasty (just like the flinstones, LOL) but at least they don't seem to have that aftertaste... I feel like I have Vitamin in my teeth for hours with the flinstones... blech!

I was eating the Centrum chewables in addition to a chewable vit C and chewable Calcium. I was choking them down and then I noticed (maybe pretended not to) that I had stopped taking them for almost 2 months.:laugh:

I now take the adult gummy vitamins (also purchased from target) and alternate them with the viactiv Multivitamin chews, I also take a viactiv calcium chew.

I'm with little froggy - I know I take in more sugar than I should but I have gone 3 weeks and maybe only missed 1 day a week. They actually taste really good and I pack a little container with them every day and wait to take them until that first time I start to feel hungry and make sure I chew them well - haven't had a problem yet.

I forgot one thing - wish I could find an alternate way to get echinaccea (I swear by it during cold season - I'll take it 3 x day if I'm sick or around people who are sick and I rarely get sick or if I do it's short term)

Anybody heard of a chewable or other high dose form of echinaccea?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
