If you are talking Multi Vitamins, I get the flinestone chewables. This is what my doc recommends. I take 2 a day in the morning.

I have been using Centrum chewables from Walmart for a couple of years. Long before surgery.

I also use Centrum chewables, Walmart around 9 bucks...what my doc reccomends.

Ditto. My Dr. reccomends Adult Centrum chewables. I also take sublingual Biotin, D-3 gummies, & Fiber gummies.

Same here! Though I'll be switching to normal swallow Vitamins soon.

Humming Bird...I really do get tired of my Viactiv and have been looking to take something different for a change (2 yrs...three caramels a day...bleck...even though they taste good..sooooo need a change).

My question...does the D-3 gummie include all the daily required Vitamins???

I dislike the taste of most chewable vitamins, but my stomach doesn't tolerate swallow-types. Then I happened upon Vita-Fusion Multi Vites, calcium chews and Fiber gummies (have major Constipation since banding). They are freaking delicious. I've never been a Gummy bear fan, but these are amazing. Check them out on Facebook - you'll see how many people rave about them. My last bottle I got was 150 count at Walgreens for $14.99. The Multi-Vites are good enough that my husband is even taking them daily (a huge feat) and the Fiber ones are even better!!!

Good to hear...thanks for the info. Shortly after my post on this thread, I went to Amazon and order The Vita-Fusion brand. Nice to hear they are a nice flavor and easy to eat. I sometimes can pick up the the Vitamin flavor and it turns my tummy.:rolleyes2:

I totally agree - I've tried the generic Gummy ones from Walgreens and they're much harder and have that vitaminy taste to them. Not palatable for me. The Vita-Fusions taste fantastic. You won't be sorry! :rolleyes2: I look forward to Vitamin and fiber time now!

I get my Vitamins and Calcium chewables from

www.unjury.com

They are made for lap band patients or gastric bypass patients and are delicious. They also do not have lots of chinese herbs and stuff in them.

They are very affordable and are wonderful!

I also get my Protein powder here and it is delicious!

Hope this is helpful!

No, the D-3 gummies only have vit. D. Someone told me that most D vits are D-2 and your body has to then turn it into D-3. I just take the D because my surgeon told me it is the most common one patients are lacking.

I take the Vitafusion fiber gummies (Target) so I stay regular. They taste great and are a very soft gummie that chew up easy and almost melt in your mouth.

If I had insurance I would go get my blood checked to see if I need to take something else. I may have ins. soon through my husband's job...... we'll see.

I dont know about the gummies, but I love Healthy Indulgence Calcium. I think they also have a multi-vit. They are a round chocolate ball. You can eat them like a piece of chocolate or let them melt in your mouth. Delicious!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
