craigmorganfan 0 Posted October 3, 2011 I am wondering if taking Flintstone Vitamins would be okay post lapband surgery? I had my procedure on July 22, 2010 and the Caltrate and One A Day Vitamins were making me feel very yuck,,,so I quit taking them a few months ago... I figured that even though the Flintstone Vitamins are for kids,,,that at least I'd be taking something...it does say on the box that adults can take 1 a day,,,but,,,I don't know if that's enough or if I should take 2 a day? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dibley Dawn 84 Posted October 3, 2011 I take Flintstones complete, and I take 1 a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annnmariee 0 Posted October 3, 2011 The nurse at my surgeon's office told me to take either optisource or Flintstones Complete. I bought the Optisource but will switch to Flintstones once I finish this bottle. (Optisource is kind of pricey.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bromo 17 Posted October 3, 2011 Flintstones used to be on my doctor's accepted list but no longer. I take Centrum chewable with Iron. They aren't too bad and I prefer them over the Bariatric Advantage brand. I take Viactiv chewables for Calcium.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marla290 3 Posted October 3, 2011 I take those also, 1 a day when I can remember! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyGirl80 12 Posted October 3, 2011 I used to take Flintstones but I got sick of them getting stuck in my teeth and I don't like the graininess of them. Now I take One A Day VitaCraves gummies, they don't taste like Vitamins at all and they go down easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNP28 1 Posted October 3, 2011 My surgeon told me the flintstones for kids were ok as long as I take 2 . They don't really taste that good to me and they do get stuck in your teeth. I'm may switch to the vitacrave gummies once I'm done with these. I remember them tasting better when I was a kid. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted October 4, 2011 I buy the costco Version of Flintstone's and my blood work has been fine. Make sure to get the Choline version. My doctor specifically mentions that. As my pre Breakfast I do chewable multi, Calcium, D, Fiber. A hour before I take Biotin (for hair loss), coq10 (good for the heart and I'm on a statin so helps with muscle pain), and Iron pill.

bromo 17 Posted October 4, 2011 I was told to not take my multi Vitamin and Calcium together but to allow several hours between them. Something to do with absorption, I don't remember exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winifred76 1 Posted October 4, 2011 I too take the Vitacrave gummies - two a day I was told to not take my multi Vitamin and Calcium together but to allow several hours between them. Something to do with absorption, I don't remember exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrd 28 Posted October 4, 2011 I take flinstone complete (2) and 2 chocolate calciums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittyforet 50 Posted October 4, 2011 I don't like the chalky taste.... I take Target brand of the Vita gummies.... I can handle those ok and chew really well. For the Calcium, I take the Target brand of the calcium gummies.... In the beginning I bought several different brands of the calcium chews (Caltrate, Viactiv, etc) and to me those taste horrible!!

54Shirley 105 Posted October 4, 2011 I been doing the Flintstone's Complete with Choline for 7 years now. My surgeon put all his Bariatric Patients on the Vitamins. Dosage is 1 tablet 3 x a day. I just grab my 3 when I have time, and take them. Every Day.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachel412 116 Posted October 4, 2011 My surgeon's office reccommended 2 of the Flinstones Completes. I've been taking the Centrum chewabes instead... I like the taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
