HATE chewable vitamins!!



Recommended Posts

I was sent home from the hospital with a bunch of samples of Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins and Calcium tablets. I am following all the band rules but I hate these things! Does anybody use a Vitamin they really like? Please put me out of my misery!

There is a really tasty Vitamin called Isotonix, its a powder that you mix with Water and it tastes like citrus. I was not a believer but let me tell you, its a great vitamin that you don't have to take with food, they prefer you take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and its awesome! You can talk to my person who is Karen Bambas you can reach her at her e-mail address of: Karen Bambas [fusionlady1@hotmail.com is her e-mail address. She can then talk to you about it and what it can do. She offeres a variety of things and trust me, its awesome! I hope this helps!

Every Vitamin that I have tried has tasted horrible but I can actually deal with the Centrum Orange Multivitamin

OMG guys, I know!!! I've tried the Bariatric Advantage and even the Flintstones chewables I didn't like. I have Celebrate bariatric Vitamins now (grape) and they are a LITTLE more tolerable

The best chewable Vitamins are Vitafusion - they taste like Gummy bears.

You can find them at Target, CVS, Walgreens.

Seriously, try them - they are soooo good.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to do some research and see which of these varieties comes anywhere near the Vitamin levels of the Bariatric Advantage, and try that one!

I second the Vitafusions - those things are a TREAT to take. I haven't found a single chewable that tastes good nor a non-chew that doesn't irritate my stomach, but the Vitafusions simply rock. They also have Fiber gummies that are divine. I look forward to Vitamin and fiber time! I'm not even a fan of Gummy bears, but these are delicious. I've tried the generic version at Walgreens - not even close. They're harder and taste nasty. Vitafusion all the way!

Just what April said, these gummies are a TREAT!!

I promise you wont regret buying them and I think I saw a small bottle for less than $7, so not a big investment should you really not like them, but I highly doubt it.

Let us know if you try them and what you think.

Have a great weekend.

I eat the Gummy ones similar to Ang, they are the Publix store brand version of the flintstone gummy's. It was actually the only chewables I could find that day at the store...they taste really good! they taste just like gummy bears, not vile at all ;-)

My surgeon recommended Flinestone chewables, saying they have enough of what I need? I take the Gummy ones and must say I was a little disappointed when he told me to take one instead of 2 :hurt: They are rather tasty!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
