What vitamins are you taking?



Recommended Posts

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! :blink: 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?

Oh my goodness! I am taking the same vitamins and I despise them! They are so gross! I literally want to throw up when I take them. When I tried them before surgery they weren't that bad. I want to take something else also. I am going to finish the bottle (because I don't want to waste the money). Next time you take them, let it dissolve in your mouth, I put mine in my cheek and let lthem dissolve, they aren't as SICK and GROSS that way.......hopefully that trick will help you get through the bottle!

Good luck!

Thanks! I will try that to see if it helps! They are so nasty but they are the ones that my Dr. suggests. I compared what was in them to a regular multi-Vitamin and they have alot more than the multi. I just need to shop around.

I completey agree - those Bariatric Advantage Mixed Berry flavor ones are HORRIBLE!!! I literally gag over the sink everytime I take them. One of these days, I know I am going to puke. I will try letting it dissolve and see if that helps. YUCK!!!!

I have a question for Dlynn1635 - you are not the first person I have heard to takes this liquid Vitamin from Vitamin World but when I tried to call and order - they told me they stopped making them. When was the last time you purchased it?

I tried to look this up on their website and could not find it. Could you post a link to it please?

I take Origin of Life Complete Liquid Nutrition from Vitamin World. It taste pretty good and gives me all of my needed daily Vitamins plus a boost of energy everyday.

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. biggrin.gif

I take one multivitamin, 1200 mcg Calcium malate chelate and Vitamin B12 sublingual. I hate chewables, they are just yucky. I get all my vitamins from one place, so that’s a relief. Have had my labs done too and they look good.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
