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!

      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.
