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

Do we need a B12 supplement?
bennettkathryn replied to Jordien's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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.

What vitamins are u taking ?
bennettkathryn replied to nancy264's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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. -
Need help with my Vitaminas please..:)
bennettkathryn replied to JodiAnn210's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
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. -
Vitamins and Supplements

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. -

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. -
more reasonable multivitamins
bennettkathryn replied to kitty323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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.
