I prefer capsules or tablets because I can’t STAND the flavor of chewables. I also don’t like the way they make me feel. The fillers make me feel sick and make me sweat. I go with Vita4Life and I love them. I’ve never had an issue with them and have been taking them for years. It’s the best calcium on the market IMO. One container lasts 2 months. http://vita4life.net/products/bariatric-vitamins-calcium-malate-chelate-support.html

It’s pretty normal to feel fatigued this soon out so I wouldn’t worry TOO much about it if you’re being compliant and taking your vitamins/eating properly etc. Shots can definitely help, but a sublingual B12 is definitely a good idea if you haven’t tried it yet. I like Vita4Life’s sublingual because it contains B complex Vitamins and it is made to dissolve slower than most sublingual B12 sublinguals on purpose. This is so the sublingual doesn’t just dissolve in our saliva in 3 seconds and get swallowed, then become non absorbable. The price is unbeatable too. Check them out sometime. Good luck and keep up the good work! http://vita4life.net/bariatric-vitamins-b-12-sublingual.html

I take vita4life’s iron supplement. It is one of the best iron supplements available in the market.

Vita4life’s vitamins are tablets only. You can crush and consume it.

I take 3 multivitamins. Vitamin b 12 sublingual, D3 and calcium tablets.

Vita4Life has some mini multivitamin tablets. Swallowing them won’t be difficult hopefully

Well, I had the same issue, but I was able to avoid it by consuming vita4life’s hair skin and nail vitamin. You can give it a try too.

Consider the one from vita4life.net.

Hair loss problem can be avoided consuming hair skin and nail vitamin supplement. If you are worried about your hair loss problem, then I strongly recommend you to use vita4life’s hair supplement products. I truly can say, you will not regret it.

Sorry I never heard of it. Do you mean vitamin b 12 sublingual?

I was taking gummies from Flintstones. They made me feel nauseous, and I was not sure for the cause. Later I found out that it contained fillers like Lactose, Sucrose, Flavonoids, Artificial Flavorings, and Red Dyes which caused my symptoms. As for chewable I used to take Centrum multivitamin products, like the Flavor Burst Chews, contain the allergen soy. Generally soy allergies cause mild reactions, including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, sneezing, hives and red watery eyes. Apart from that some chewable tablet multivitamins from Centrum contain lactose which is a big problem if you are lactose intolerant. The same was with celebrate vitamins. I wasn’t very fond of liquids so I was stuck with the last option of capsules. After consulting my nut, he advised me to take vita4life bariatric vitamins and supplements. Being apprehensive I did my research and found that vita4life did not contain any fillers and mentioned the compounds clearly on the website. Its been two years that I have been taking these vitamins and they have helped me get good labs without any side-effects.

I wouldn’t advice on Bariatric Advantage Vitamins. They are a complete waste of money. They made me nauseous each time I took them. Worst of all the bottles did not have complete information on the ingredients. There was some info missing. I take Calcium in malate chelate 1200 mcg in a serving of 4 capsules, Multivitamins in multi-standard formula and 1 Vitamin b12 sublingual in the form of methylcobalamin with 1000mcg.I get all these vitamins from Vita4Life. As for Biotin supplement I would advise hair skin and nail vitamin from vita4life. They offer biotin and msm supplements that in combination work great for your hair skin and nails. I personally hate chewables. They make me barf each time and I hate the idea of chewing for over two minutes and then swallowing. As per weight gain, I have not noticed any after surgery. I guess it all depends on your diet.

You should consult your doctor before choosing any vitamin. I take calcium in malate chelate 1200 mcg in a serving of 4 capsules, multivitamins in multi-standard formula and 1 vitamin b12 sublingual in the form of methylcobalamin with 1000mcg upon my doctor’s advice. I get all of them from vita4life.

I have been taking hair skin and nail vitamin from vita4life. They have worked great for me. Apart from containing biotin it also contains MSM that really boost the hair growth and helps in maintaining a healthy skin and nails. I have been taking them for over a year now and have really helped me in getting a healthy skin.

They are horrible and disgusting. I used to take them and almost always felt nauseous. I consulted my doctor’s office who advised me on some multi-plus multivitamin capsules from vita4life. I have been taking them for three years now and have no complaints. They are available on Amazon.

The first supplement you will likely take after bariatric sleeve surgery is a multivitamin. Bariatric multivitamins are available and typically contain vitamins A, D, and E. In the first six months after your bariatric surgery. You may need to take a calcium supplement that contains 1,000 to 1,500 mg of calcium. Look for calcium malate chelate, which is better absorbed after gastric sleeve surgery. Vitamin D is required to help you absorb calcium in your body. This vitamin is difficult to get in your daily diet and even more difficult following bariatric sleeve surgery. Take at least a 1,000 IU vitamin D supplement each day to ensure you get enough of this vitamin. During laparoscopic gastric bypass, the portion of the stomach responsible for making intrinsic factor is bypassed. The lack of intrinsic factor decreases the amount the body is able to absorb vitamin B-12 after gastric bypass and to a lesser extent after gastric sleeve surgery. As such, you should take a vitamin B-12 supplement that is either liquid or dissolves on the tongue. Take at least 500 micrograms of vitamin B-12 per day to ensure you get enough vitamin B-12 in your diet. Earlier I used to take chewables from centrum. It made me nauseous every time I took them. So I switched to Fintstones, but the gummy vitamins seemed to make no difference. I continued these bariatric multivitamins for a year and my labs returned no noticeable result. I decided to consult another nut, who advised me to change to vita4life. I did my bit of research before taking them just to be cautious. Having found nothing bad with them I decided to start with them and have been taking them for two years now. My labs have been perfect.

Earlier I was taking gastric bypass vitamins from Bariatric Advantage, but they failed to produce any results and also made me nauseous half the time. It was then my nutritionist advised me to change to vita4life. Having changed to these vitamins for 18 months now, I’m happy to report that the lab results look great.

You need to take a high-potency daily multivitamin and mineral supplement that contains a minimum of 18 mg of Iron, 400 mcg of folic acid, selenium, copper and zinc. Take 1,200 to 2,000 mg of calcium daily. A total of 800 to 1,000 International Units (IUs) of Vitamin D each day and about 1000 mcg vitamin b12 sublingual daily.

I get all the essential vitamins from vita4life off their website. The vitamins are also available on Amazon.

I take multivitamin with iron, 1000 mcg vitamin b12 and 1200 mg calcium malate chelate. The dosage might differ for you so consult your doctor.
