I always had problems with multi-Vitamins, but when I got the band it was even worse. Because I don't eat as much, I always got the children's gummy vitamins so it didnt upset my stomach so much, but I didn't feel like i was getting what I needed.

But I recently found the One a Day VitaCraves Multi-Vitamin. I LOVE them. I take the one with immunity support as I work in healthcare setting so high immunity is always a plus!

The bottle says to take 2 a day, so I take one in the morning and one before bed. I havent felt nauseous once from them, which is wonderful!

Just thought I'd share on here for those who may not have seen them before :)

I love Vita-crave gummies, my husband picked them up for me at the store because I was having a hard time with so many reg Vitamins. I also take:

chewable acidophiles-helps keeping your bowels going helps with the band

chewable Vitamin c

Gummy Omega 3- Vitafusion

Gummy Vitamin D/calcium - Caltrate

I do not dread my Vitamins now, and it helps with the bathroom issues!

My biggest struggle was Multi Vitamins because there's so much in them and it was too much on my stomach. I dreaded taking them. I take tons of vitamins and now can handle a multi as well! I also take acidophilus, which I always tell people, especially females because it helps with ph balance as well...it is a pill form but it's a powder type pill that isn't hard for me to take...I also take Vitamin D (i seem to have abnormally low vit D levels...found that out after two broken bones :-/ very teeny tiny pill) and chewable vit C. It seems as though when everyone is getting sick, I stay pretty healthy! Yay me! :)

The only problem I've heard with gummy vitamins is that they can be lacking in nutritional bulk like regular Vitamins do. I use Centrum chewables and a Gummy B Complex by Viatfusion. Just check with your surgeon about the quantity you should take, as you may require more.

Hmm, I never heard that...I've compared side to side nutrition labels and they have been almost identical with some regular pill Multi Vitamins, but I'll be sure to check with my doc just in case!

I have been taking the sunkist chewable Vitamin c, but it is so tangy that I dread taking them. Has anyone found a chewable Vitamin C in any other flavor besides orange?

VitaCraves has Gummy Vit C, which may be less tangy than a chewable tablet. Also, Emergen-C is a great powder with multiple flavors....mix with 1/2 cup - 1 cup of Water.

I had actually started out with O-Purity Multivitamin for band, but the flavor was really too sweet. I now use the Centrum chewable, and even though the flavor is not good, I prefer it over the sweetness of opurity.< /p>

I would also only compare to another chewable, preferably a bariatric mix for band, to see how it lines up. My surgeon recommended Centrum chewables and said not to take a pill form Vitamin.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
