liszy_327 3 Posted February 13, 2013 Hey everyone ! I need to buy Vitamins ! My Nutritionist told me before surgery I should be taking Multivitamin, Vitamin C and Vitamin D. I believe Vitamin C+Caltrate 1200mg, Vitamin D 2000IU. So I wanted to know any excellant vitamins that are great, easy to swallow, and not so pricey !!

ShannaS 63 Posted February 13, 2013 My doctor/nutritionist said no pill Vitamins. So I take Gummy versions of both. I take VitaFusion for Women Gummy Multi Vitamin and VitaFusion Gummy Calcium +Vitamin D. These can both be found at Walmart for around $20 total and they are about a 2 month supply each. These taste great! Hope this helps. 3 kazjim98, sapcat54 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neener1970 39 Posted February 19, 2013 I take pill Vitamins no problem, I take a multi d3 and b1. After a year on multi I was d3 and b1 deficient. Make sure they do your follow up bloodwork on time soooo important ! 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HilaryInRC 116 Posted February 25, 2013 GNC Women's Ulta Mega has almost the same exact ingredients as Bariatric Advantage Vitaband chewables. Women's Ultra Mega is time released, significantly cheaper, actually higher potency of some of the Vitamins included, but you do have to swallow two big pills. I don't have a problem swalling pills. And Lord knows I take about a zillion fish oil caps a day. So, GNC Women's Ultra Mega works well for me. Back when I first got the band I used to take gummies or double dose of Flinstones chewables, but if you compare the Vitamin dose in those to Bariatric Advantage or Women's Ultra Mega, you will be dismayed to see they don't even come close! I've also decided to pick up a bottle of Bariatric Advantage Biotin supplement. Last time I lost a lot of weight, my hair kept falling out. I hear Biotin is good for help with that.

Jodi_620 37 Posted February 26, 2013 Vitafusion multi, Vitafusion B-complex both are Gummy form and Calcium plus D the Viactive type chocolate chews (but I get the store brand version) taste like tootsie rolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShannaS 63 Posted April 10, 2013 Where do you buy the VitaFusion gummys? I get both of my VitaFusions at Walmart. The Womens Multi might be a little difficult to find. But they should have the regular adult Gummy and the Calcium in stock. I hope you can find them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

utkscvol1 125 Posted April 10, 2013 Yesterday when I went to the nutritionist she said not to take the gummies as they are missing 2 of the Vitamins.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAATNS 1,473 Posted April 10, 2013 I've been taking the One-A-Day Women's minis with no problems. Nature Made fish oil also makes a mini now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewelsm1127 351 Posted April 10, 2013 Yesterday when I went to the nutritionist she said not to take the gummies as they are missing 2 of the Vitamins. My doc and nutritionist ok'd them for me. They just did a blood draw last week to check my Vitamin levels and I should hear back in two weeks. Have to admit that I am curious if its all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
