Vitamin Help!!

[MoTown22 1]

The only Vitamin I have not in a chewable form is my super B, which doc says minimum of 50 mg of Thiamine. Well they are quite large + I'm super paranoid, so I cut it into about 8 pieces. I can't keep doing this everyday, but yet I can't seem to find a chewable one-does it even exist? Or the liquid ones aren't the right complex. Anyone?!

When I was discharged from the hospital I was given info from the hospital Nutritionist with all sorts of bariatric Vitamins. They were horrendous!! I spoke to my surgeon and he basically told me to take a very good Multivitamin. I don't cut them up. I bought mine from Puritan's Pride and I have no problems with them getting stuck. I also take a Bioten 5000mg daily because I had started to lose hair. this fixed the problem. I would ask your doctor, but I don't see any reason that you would have to use chewable vitamins. I hope this helps!! Good luck!!

Centrum makes chewables. They sell them at Walmart, Target, etc.

Not sure if either of these sites will help, but both brands are what my nutritionist recommends. My multivitamin is a chewable form for bariatric patients. I was not allowed to do the Centrum.

I do take a chewable multi Vitamin, as well as a chewable Calcium per doc's direction. But I am also supposed to take a super B or mega B vitamin (with at least 50mg of Thiamine). Does Centrum make those in chewable? Thanks for the tip on the Bioten! I hope I don't have any Hair loss, I figured I would check again with the Doc at 6 weeks on what his recommendations are on that. I would have assumed to take an Iron supplement, but I will bring this up. And thank you for the websites, I bet I can find something here!

Well MoTown,, Hello Detroit ! My old Home Town. I had my surgery at Henry Fords, and they put all Bariatric patients on flinstone chewables COMPLETE in a Orange Box. These contain CHOLINE, that is what helps us out a lot. Stops bruising for me, and keeps me peppy. I do about 4 a day, and yes they are chewables.

Don't just buy the Flinstone Chewables, cause that's not gonna do it. Remember get the COMPLETE.

iF YOU NEED A Protein DRINK ! Go on ebay, type in MUSCLE MILK (it takes water) There's a lady on there for $5.99 a jug. (THAT'S CHEAP) it's also the light. If you check her store she has another flavor, and combines shipping. I'm waiting for mine to come in.

strawberry MILKSHAKE, and chocolate Peanut Butter shake. I been drinking this for almost 5 years, and it is good ! ! !.

Good Luck, if interested let me know, and I will give you her name.

Good Health, Shirley.

I just bought at CVS a b complex that was labelled as a smaller size pill and it is small! The brand, I think, is Nature Made. It had a yellow cap and is a brown bottle. The label specifically says it is a new small size pill. They were buy one get one free when I got them and reasonably priced to begin with.

I literally just got back from CVS and I picked up the exact same thing! I am headed out of town after work so I needed something. Awesome! Have you tried swallowing yet? I haven't opened it yet, wonder if we can swallow whole? shoot, even in half would be much better than the eigths I was doing! thank you!

haha hi Shirley! I did buy the generic flinstone chewables. I believe I compared what was in them to an adult multi Vitamin and it was the same. And the container had adult instructions so I assumed it was sufficient. I will bring that to my docs attention though, don't want to be deficient! Now that I got this new B that should help too.

I actually just bought a bunch today, but when I run out I may keep that in mind! I bought some pre-made Muscle Milk and was going to try that, haven't yet. But what I've been using is just Pure Protein from Target easy, cheap, and tastes decent. I also bought some unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

Thanks for all the tips!

Nope ! dont need to ! ! !

So whatever you bought ,,,,I would think should be close to as good.... If still not peppy, then do the Flintstones Complete. Name Brand.

Keep the Muscle Milk Cold, and go on ebay for your supplies in Muscle Milk.

It's worth it...
