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!

Bibi,

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
