Buy chewables until you feel confident with swallowing larger pills. My B-Complex is a capsule, not huge and has worked fine for me. I get them from vitacost. I also take Biotin, zinc and phosphate.

I am taking Centrum chewables, they aren't much for taste but not the worst. I take 2 a day.

I get the liquid Nature's Way multi vit/ multi mineral. It doesn't taste fantastic, but it has everything we need.

My doc recommends Centrum and Flinstones with Iron. One each per day. It is hard to find a chewable Vitamin that is as complete as a regular pill. Just because they say they are complete doesn't mean they are. Check the labels. Good luck!

Dr recommended either one of the bariatric blends or Centrum chewables.< /p>

I take the Centrum & Calcium chewables.

I get them from CVS when they have a bogo. I chew them up at the same time and the taste of calcium cut the Vitamin taste so not to bad.

My Dr said no gummies.< /p>

I take Centrum complete chewables. Orange flavor, i get them on subscribe and save via Amazon and it's pretty cheap. They taste ok and dont make me feel sick like other Vitamins i've tried. I also do a liquid B-12/folic acid and chewable Calcium with D and a separate D3. I get the chewables from GNC and they're good!

I dont take any because I am not Vitamin deficient. I have my blood work done every three months and my doctor told me if you're not deficient you dont need them. All you're buying is expensive pee. Get your levels checked not everyone needs them.

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
