I went to the Drs today for my post-op check and they gave me samples of these Vitamins. I guess they contain everything necessary in one chewable instead of taking several multiple vitamins, I ordered some when I got home, they tasted good, and I'm sure are more suitable for what I need than the kids chewables I've been taking!

Anyone else tried them?

My Dr. office offered those vitamens and I passed on them. I went with Centrum silver instead just because they are chewable. They are about $11 for 60, I still have to take a Calcium supplement, Iron and B12. However, at my Dr office they said that I would have to take all of those supplements if I was using their bariatric vitamens. I just had my follow up yesterday and all of my levels were great so my the Centrum silver must be working. Good luck with yours.

Bariatric fusion is alright. Check out Bariatric Advantage. I did a side by side comparisons of some of the different Vitamins and Bariatric Advantage has more nutritional value, they also send out samples for free just call em and let them know. Thats how I got my samples. Its a 7 day supply.

Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients check them out,

I use Spectravite chewables from CVS. They are cheap, taste good and meet my nutritional needs.

Amazingly enough, my obstetrition said they were also sufficient for prenatal Vitamins as long as I have a folic acid supplement as well . . . so for me they are working as a regular Vitamin, bariatric Vitamin and prenatal vitamin and are still cheap and taste good with none of those icky vitamin burps or queasiness.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
