Suggestions for chewable vitamins (Calcium, Multi, and Vitamin D



Recommended Posts

I like the Centrum, The taste is fine and the Vitamin content is what I want. They are not all created equal : )

I do the gummy vitamins but you have to keep in mind that they don't contain Iron so you may need to take an iron supplement. I also take Biotin and a chocolate chewy Calcium that I got from whole foods.

My doctor recommended Flintsones with Choline. I found the exact same Vitamin (compared them side by side) at costco under their Kirklnad brand for half the money. I also take Gummy Fiber also from Costco, chewable Caltrate 600 (calicum and other suff), gummy Vitamin D, and a Iron pill. I also by a large contain of unflavored benefiber while I'm there which lasts me for probably 5 months.

I use to buy it at costco too. I found it just doesn't have the same kick for me.

Hope it works for you.

I am 1 month post op yesterday. I have trouble with Vitamins keeping me up at night. Even if I take them at 5 in the morning. My surgeon recommended Isotonix vitamins. They are powder and you mix a capful with 2 ounces of Water. They taste like Tang and go down fast. Plus, they are absorbed better than chewables. I liked them so much, I bought the Calcium powder. Again, this tastes like Tang. The taste is citrusy and bright and they go down like a shot. The best thing is they don't keep me up at night. They aren't very expensive either. Plus I don't have any issues with liquids, so around fill time I can still take my daily Vitamin. I can't recommend these enough. Some people say they taste too tart, but for me, I will take this over having caulky vitamin leftovers in my teeth, or the texture of a Gummy bear that seems forever to chew and chew and chew. You can Google "Isotonix" and their website will come up. These are my favorite. bananalama.gif

I take vitafusion gummies multiple Vitamin, also their Fiber gummies too. I also take the generic viactiv Calcium + D chews. I know I can take regular pills, but in the past I'd always forget to take them and since I started the gummies I haven't forgotten, it like my treat in the morning

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
