stay away from those over the counter. take a look at these they are flavorful and I believe they will even give you free samples so you can try them before buying. Plus these are actually made for the lapband patient. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog?cat=Multi-Vitamins&so=

Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage Biotin Capsules (90ct) Try Biotin it has helped out alot of people click on the link to learn more about it. Just my 2 cents. -
Hey Jim, Thats great that you are taking vitamins. Make sure you are taking the right ones as I have found in my own research. Where do you get your vitamins? I have googled some stuff and found this www.bariatricadvantage.com. People always think im spam, but I just share my find either you take it or not. I wont be hurt promise lol lol. Good luck to you.
-
The ones that I tried are Bariatric Advantage they are good, you can visit thier site and check out for your self, you can actually also give them a call they give out samples as well. Its worth a look. www.bariatricadvantage.com. Good stuff IMHO.

Be careful with protein pills as they do not for the most part get you enough proteins. You are better off getting the profect liquid bullets i have had them they are pretty good, or just get a tasteless powder that you can add with food. Some of the protein tablets I have seen require you to take 6 tablets to only get 6 grams of protein. Yikes. Check these puppies out they might be able to help you with your search for the perfect protein. Bariatric Advantage - Protein Powders= It wouldnt hurt to look. But then again I like the protein chocolate powder shakes has always been my most favorite.
-
I guess the point I am trying to make is the protein pills are not very good I mean 6grams of protein for 6 tablets, when you can get profect liquid for 50 grams of protein in one shot. Even the Bariatric Advantage high protein meal replacement gets 27 grams of Proteins per serving. So in some cases there is a protein pill but its not going to get you anywhere. I seriously do not even know why they make them.

I agree with the above post, always do your research. Some people take different kinds of over the counter Vitamins and it is not good for them it actually makes them difficient. go to www.bariatricadvantage.com and even call them they will help answer any questions you have about nutrition.
-
Yeah taking Vitamins is something that should be taken seriously, and one should always do their own research, trusting doctors are awesome, but one should always do their own research, plus its your body the only one you will get on this planet. Always take vitamins created fo the bariatric patient over the counter usually has lots of sugars and it is created for the general public. Here's one site go here and you can even maye call their 800 number and ask around. www.bariatricadvantage.com DO YOUR RESEARCH. AS THE OP HAS.
-
Im ust curious what kind of vitamins are you using and brands and how they are treating you and how you like them? Thanks any input would do.
-
I guess we should do whatever our doctors say and that is important, but it should not stop any of us to do our own research as I did mine loo at this and let me know what you guys think. It is pretty interesting and I do not think it cold hurt anyone. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage VitaBand Chewable Multivitamin - Lemon Cream (180ct)

B12 vs Sublingual B12 - can you help me with the difference
flipman416 replied to SpecialK's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
B-12 is always good to take and it will def help with energy, sublingual would be the most convenient way to take it as it does not require a doctors visit and you can do it yourself, as you already know sublingual is something you put underneath your tongue and let it dissolve. It has proven that it works. Go to this website and it shows info on the b-12. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage Sublingual B-12 - Black Cherry (30 Count) -
Taking Vitamins especially after surgery should not be taken lightly, and the right vitamins should always be considered. Flintstones, centrum are good but for the general public. One should always take the vitamins that are made for the bariatric community. Always theres choices out there my most favorite is on this site Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional Supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients

Sadly enough there is no such thing as a protein pill. But it seems that taste is your biggest factor, you should try and getting some of the tasteless ones that you can mix with everything. Search around...heres one site that have helped alot of people it might just help you. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage TUB Meal Replacement (Unflavored)

I'm experiencing hairloss, Need suggestion!
flipman416 replied to CaliGirl626's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Go to this site and read this about a Vitamin that helps with that....... Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage Biotin Capsules (90ct) -
Wow, posts like these scare me. Bariatric patients should not take any children Vitamins as they are not made for us and have you seen the sugar content on those things. There are companies out there that make them specifically for the bariatric comunity. www.bariatricadvantage.com go to that site and do your reaserch they also sell some vitamins to, if taste is a factor I know most companies including this give out free samples good luck.

Im not a doctor but I think Biotin can help you out read this. Biotin is a member of the B-vitamin family. It plays a role in the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate. It may help to maintain the health of nails and hair. Our small, high-potency capsules are easy to swallow and digest. Click here this is where I got it, and its not that expensive either...
