Where to get good deals on chewable vitamins?



Recommended Posts

You can get Centrum Complete chewables at most drugstores. I've looked for prices online and they don't look any cheaper there. I've been doing a lot of searching online for economical Vitamins, but I really haven't come across much other than Centrums or just flinstone vitamins, which I use now.

I buy the Vitafusion Brand gummy vitamins for adults at Costo ! 200 per bottle at a pretty good deal. They appear to have all the essentials as the other name brands.

I'm with vrt ... the Vita gummies are tasty and they get the job done. The price for 200 at costco beats any price I have seen thus far.

Good luck.

I used Centrum chewables. I was told no Flintstone Vitamins as they don't contain everything we need post-op. If you buy them, just be sure to compare the vitamin/mineral percentages to another Vitamin just to make sure it's a complete vitamin.

I use adult Centrum chewable too. My surgeon had me start on them pre-op and I have chewed one every day since :)

I had to stop taking them LOL! I could never get over the taste and I was never sure if swallowing chewables was okay :| Thank god I can take normal MVs or I'd be going nuts.

I started off using Bariatric Advantage chewables. I thought they were disgusting and could hardly get them down! This weekend I bought the Vitafusion 200 ct. gummies at Target. The gummies are deelish! biggrin.gif I bought mine at Target and paid approx. $12. I compared the labels between both of them and there wasn't a significant difference. I'll stick to the gummies!

costco and Sams both have liquid vitamins, about $20 for a months supply.

They are just expensive! I noticed lots of time CVS and Rite Aid have sales and coupons. I use Viactiv for my Calcium and lots of times they have $3.00 off coupons.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
