I am praying that I can swallow a small Multivitamin pill because I just spent $10 on a bottle of Centrum chewables and it made me sick ( I am not even banded yet) I just am making sure I have everything prepared beforehand.

Several of my friends do the Flintsone's chewables and don't have a problem with them. I ordered mine from Celebrate Vitamins online. They have several flavors and you can order a sample pack preop and decide which flavor works best for you. I go back and forth between Mandarin Orange and Blackberry for the Multivitamins. They have a chewable Iron in Grape that is pretty good. Good Luck!

I used to recommend the Centrum chewables... but now they give me a full body shudder every time I take one!! I think I'm going to have to try Flintstones.

I found a powered Multi-Vitamin at GNC that has 10G of Protein in it - I use it as one Protein Shake a day and get all of my Vitamins - they had chocolate and vanilla - I found a few containers that were set to expire in 6 months and they start marking them down.

Try a liquid Vitamin. It's what has worked for me... I could stand the chewables! Also, have to take them at night because of food in my belly. Couldn't do on an empty tummy either! Good luck!

I take a Flintstones chewable with Iron in the AM and a Centrum Silver chewable in the PM. Plus I have now started on some Biotin. Even taking all three of those is not as complete as taking an old fashioned Centrum multivitamin. Something about the chewables that makes them less complete than a regular Vitamin I guess.

I tried the orange flavored Centrum chewables but I just couldn't stand them after a few weeks. They seemed to taste worse with time for me.

I take the vista fusion Gummy Multivitamins. They taste like a gummy bear so it's basically a snack!

I'm not in my green zone yet so I'm hoping I can keep taking my gummies once I'm there. I'm with ya on the chalky chews-yuck!

I'm having trouble finding Calcium citrate chews. I have found tabs and I break them in half but I have to take 6 to 8 whole tabs, 12 to 16 half, to get my requirement. No thanks.

I take liquid vitamins and Calcium. I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe and my coop. Be aware that the flintstones and Centrum may contain artifical sugars, which are thought to cause and continue belly fat.

It costs more to get the liquid vits. but I know I am getting "the real thing" with no added sugar.

Thanks for the info Ready, but i think i am going to end up going with the ones the DRs have at the office.I had previously checked about liquid, and my nutritionist stated she did not recommend liquid, due to it losing its potency. Apparently just sitting on the shelf, it can lose some of the potency, so you arent actually getting the amount on the labels. Who knew??

The ones at the office comes in crystal form so i can add it to Water. That should be easier to swallow. ^_~

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
