Vitamins...?

[XxMariposaxX 1]

I take two children's multi-vitamins in the morning. 1 Viative 2 hours later and another Viactive in the evening.

Hi pmommy,

I take One-A-Day (Energy). They are 'normal' Vitamins and are packed with the B Vitamins we need as well as Biotin. It's the only formula out on the market that I could find that I could tolerate. chewables are just yucky to me and forget liquids... they leave such a horrible taste in my mouth. It's going to be what works best for you. I was banded less than a year ago and have 4.5cc's in my band. I'm successful at taking these so I keep on keepin' on! Good luck with what you find and check out the Vitamin Shoppe that have tons to choose from!

Hi there!

Thanks for your response. I did some research on the suggestions and for taking just one pill, this one seems to have the most beneficial formula and full daily rec. for Biotin. However I bought some and opened those puppies to take a peek. :confused: Holy smokes, they are huge!!!! Do you take these whole with no issues? I hope to be fortunate to be able to take pills but those things scare me now, pre-banded.

Hi pmommy...

Yup... I sure do! I was nervous at first too, but they go down. I have to take synthroid for my thyroid so I take that first thing in the morning. Have my coffee when I get into work. (2 reasons, one for the caffine :confused: and the other for the warm liquid to help clear out my pouch.) Then I take my Vitamin and a fish oil capsule. I search and search until I found something. These are what works best for me. Especially since the formula has everything we need... all the B's, Biotin, & Calcium. You'll be surprised what you can take - I know i was! :confused:

Good luck... let me know how you do. Friend me if you want to keep in touch! :confused:

Has anyone found a bariatric formula Multivitamin that you only have to take once a day?

My nutritionist says I can't take a Multivitamin at the same time as a dairy product (but I do have to take them with food). Since I'm trying to get in so much Protein, I have dairy with almost every meal or snack... so I'm having a hard time finding two times a day when I can take my vitamin!

chewable Flintstone vitamins.. taste great!

I was taking the Flintstone's chewables, but I've recently switched up to the Centrum Multi-Vitamin, Biotin 1000 mcg, and B-complex with Vitamin C with rose hips and rice bran (from Finest Natural bought at WalGreens). It's funny, the B-complex is a bright yellow in color, and when I pee, my pee is neon yellow!

My doctor insists on Bariatric Vitamins. So I got some samples of both the Bariatric Advantage the Celebrate. I thought the Bariatric Advantage were nasty tasting and my mouth felt gritty for a while. The Celebrate ones taste pretty good, and they were more powdery than gritty. I can handle that though. It went down easier. They will send you free samples to try.
