emsbugbug 7 Posted January 25, 2011 I need some advice on bariatric Vitamins. I am currently taking the Bariatric Advantage Mixed berry flvor and I HATE THEM! They are so yucky and almost seem to fizz in my mouth...GROSS! I will take them until they are gone, but I want something different. Any suggestions? Also, what are you taking on top of your bariatric vitamins? B12? Biotin? What is your Vitamin regimen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katy Castro 1 Posted January 25, 2011 I drink my Vitamins in the form of what's called EcoDrink (I buy it at Costco). It's 100% of everything I need in a quick easy drink. Doesn't taste all that bad either. And all my blood work is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LosingItAll 49 Posted January 26, 2011 My surgery center recommended a Multivitamin (any over the counter vitimin; the ones at Walgreens are as small as an asprin) and a B complex Vitamin (but I have to cut that one in half). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speeding02gt 3 Posted January 26, 2011 I use a liquid multi from GNC called miracle 2000. its pretty nasty but its only 1 shot in the morning and it has EVERYTHING! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ajackson 0 Posted January 26, 2011 I really like my Vitamins and calcium! I use Reviva liquid multivitamin (tastes like a liquid flintstones vitamin), and Reviva liquid Calcium with vit. D. The multivitamin also contains a fruit/veg complex and as much Fiber as an apple. I also take GNC omega-3 chews. I cannot recall if I get my vitamins and calcium at costco or BJs, but it's one or the other... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acadia 20 Posted January 26, 2011 I take: One-a-Day gummies (2 per serving) sours. Citracel petites for Calcium and some D An extra D capsule (because I'm allergic to the sun) - I also have sublinguals if I'm feeling too tight to take a capsule Biotin sublingual B12 sublingual CoQ10 sublingual Omega 3 and 6 Iron every 3-4 days I'll start taking my Magnesium and zinc when I feel comfortable with the pill size. Acidophilus (the good stuff in yogurt) because pill form is used better by the body than from yogurt (and I don't eat yogurt) One of my specialist Drs (unrelated to WLS) suggested I stop extra C (causes kidney stones) and E (increases the probability to have a stroke) and as a vegetarian it would be unlikely I'd ever run low on either of those.
