Greetings All!

I am 3 weeks post-op and I absolutely hate my Vitamins. I am taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitaband chewables and they are just terrible. I have spoken with my doctor about the Calcium supplement and I have a substitute for it, but I am still looking for an alternative to the Vitaband multi-Vitamin. Any suggestions???

Thank you!

Bariatric fusion are pretty good.They come in a variety of flavors and although not as cheap as OTC they are not gonna break the bank.

When looking for Vitamins i was told to look for Multi Vitamins with vitamins AND minerals. Most just say vitamins. Vitafusions are yummy though, especially the multivites. I look forward to taking them. I take two a day and i even space them out so i get to enjoy them twice a day :) It's my little sweet candy-like treat

I agree that the BA multi-vtamins and calcium citrate are terrible tasting. I grind mine up and pour in a glass the I pour a chocolate Protein Shake in the glass. Works great.

Thank you all for the recommendations. I guess I am surprised that most of you are taking OTC Vitamins. Surprised, but relieved that I don't have to spend $32 for Vitamins from GNC! I think I will compare a few OTC against the BA and go from there.

Thank you again!

Bibi

I take the Target brand of adult Gummy Multivitamins and gummy Calcium. They're the generic version of vita fusion calcium and vista fusion multi vites.

I i use Celebrate brand chewables. They also have other bariatric items. I order online. Way better than nasty bariatric advantagr.

I go online to Vitacost.com and get mine. The prices are so low and they have so many choices. A friend of mine who had gastric surgery years ago suggested it to me.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
