I take a chewable multi and Calcium, Biotin and B complex.

I stopped taking all Vitamins except for Calcium. I was taking a Vitamin (chewable) with my morning and then my evening meal. I was getting sick to my stomach and lightheaded and just thought that i was part of eating. Until the day came that I forgot to take it. I took it later that day and got lightheaded, feverish and nauseated. I though WOW, the vitamin is doing it to me. The next day I tried it again and the symptoms came back. Granted they only lasted about 20 minutes or so...but that was long enough. So I switched vitamins (a couple different brands) and had the same thing. My guess is that my body was telling me I didn't need them. So, now I just stick to the calcium. It doesn't bother me and since I don't get any dairy except for cottage cheese, I figure it can't hurt.

I'm taking the target generic chewable once-a-day Vitamins, but they're SO GROSS!!

literally i gag from them

I would take a swallow pill, but i noticed some brands are massive. Are there any brands that have not such humongous pills?

I am taking Centrum 50+ orange chewable Multivitamins one a day and a sub-lingual B-12 each day. I had been taking a Vitamin D prescription once a week because I'm deficient in D but forgot to show it to the doctor so I'll bring it to my first post-op visit. I have not been doing Calcium yet but plan to order the Lemon chews from Bariatric Advantage.

My Centrums were on sale at the local drugstore and were cheaper than Amazon, at least at the time that I bought them.

My doctor and nutritionist both said no gummies ever.

I take EcoDrink, it's a powder that you add to a 16.9oz bottle of Water. NUT approved & I get my water in & my Vitamins for the day. I get it at Sams but they also sell it on Amazon,

How does the EcoDrink taste? I just ordered the new Centrum Burst chewables. I am anxious to see how they taste. I have been taking the regulat Centrum Chewables and they are OK.

Check out the vita-cost website for prices and ideas.I take Gummy cva brand Vitamins and a gummy Fiber from Vitamin Shoppe I really love. I am told we are supposed to take calcium citrate but a cant afford it so I do the carbonate chews. I do caltrate and it taste like chocolate candy.< /p>

I hated the barbaric chews might want to buy a small bottle first not like me who bought a huge bottle. Lucky the Vitamin Shoppe has a 30 day guarantee even though when I bought them the told me couldn't be returned.

I picked up Vitamine D and got home and realized it was Vitamine D3. Does anyone know if this is as good or should I get just "D"?

I take 2-3 tums with Calcium, I had a partial thyroidectomy and was told to take this for the my calcium been doing that for almost 4 years.

I also take "on the go" Vitamin c with mulitivitamin. I get it from walgreens in the Vitamin section, it's orange flavored so I mixed it with my Water and orange MIO.

When I don't take that I take a chewabale Centrum.

I am vitamin deficient, but getting better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
