My husband just bought me the new "gummie" Vitamins. OMG what an improvement! These I will actually take without complaining!

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.

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.

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.

I do have to take two daily but not at the same time.

Thanks NW! Boy, both Bariatric & Celebrate have a ton more B-12

Thanks Cooper! I couldn't remember if it was 2 daily or 2 twice daily.

I use the Celebrate brand...1 tablet 2 times a day...The blackberry flavor is more than just palatable.

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.

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.

      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.
