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?

I take 1 Centrum Multi Vitamin/Mineral (chewable) and 2 viactive calcium chews a day. Just had my blood work done and ALL of my levels were perfect.

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. :D

I take one Flintstones chewable and 2 calcium chews. Maybe I am strange but I like the Flintstones Vitamins. :)

My blood work indicated I am low on B1 so I need to find another supplement and add that as well.

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).

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...

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
