MrsJroChicago 32 Posted September 11, 2012 My husband just bought me the new "gummie" Vitamins. OMG what an improvement! These I will actually take without complaining! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sojourner 2,446 Posted September 11, 2012 Yet another example of the different instructions patients receive from their surgeons... I was advised that as a bariatric patient, we have special nutritional needs...so we also need to have a bariatric formulated multi Vitamin and mineral supplement. I've not compared the nutritional content of the labels...I purchase my Vitamins from my surgeon's office, where they are actually less expensive. This is another instance where reading the nutrition label is essential. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted September 11, 2012 I was told no gummy vitamins, as they do not have the appropriate level of nutrition. I was told I could use Centrum chewables and a chewable Calcium.< /p> I did buy the opurity band Vitamins when I first had surgery, but decided they were way too sweet for my liking. 1 Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted September 11, 2012 The following link is a comparison I put together pre-surgery between the Vitamin contents (in percentage) in Centrum, opurity, Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, and Flintstone Vitamins. http://thebandedblog...c-vitamins.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valeriesoriano12 3 Posted September 11, 2012 I just went to walgreen and got the one a day an b complex it was 13 bucks not to bad thanks guys for helping me out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sojourner 2,446 Posted September 11, 2012 I use the Celebrate brand...1 tablet 2 times a day...The blackberry flavor is more than just palatable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted September 11, 2012 I got samples of both Celebrate & Bariatric Advantage. I really liked the Bariatric Mixed berry. I hate chewable Vitamins, but I could tolerate that. My nutritionist gave me samples of different one's. I'm glad she did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.Rockwell 7 Posted September 11, 2012 I use the Bariatric Fusion brand chewable that I get from my surgeons office. The berry flavor is tolerable. I'm supposed to take 2 a day so I do one morning and evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
