guzmanangie 8 Posted May 17, 2013 I was taking the flintstone chewables, and they taste bad,any suggestions on what other Vitamins to take ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rbtmiller 5 Posted May 17, 2013 Personally I think Flinstones are a waste of time and would not take them or give them to my kids. I use liquid Health Complete multiple original. They are excellent and seem to absorb well, based on my nutritional profile from my blood work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DetChatt 188 Posted May 17, 2013 I like the kids chewables for myself (if I hide them in yogurt), and I also add one called hair, Skin, and Nails (a Biotin complex) that I crush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrsto 2,925 Posted May 17, 2013 I take Nature's Plus chewable multi-Vitamin and mineral supplement. I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe, but here is a link to them at another place (just so you can see what they are). I like these better than the gummies, because they have minerals as well. All of the gummies I've looked at, seem to be missing things. http://www.thenaturalonline.com/natures-plus-adult-multi-vitamin-pineapple-90-chewable-tablets.html?gclid=COLf3ujbnbcCFS9eQgodyEMASg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekwood 702 Posted May 17, 2013 My doctor recommended Bariatric Advantage, I'm using that (mixed berry, chewable). It's not too bad. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenElaine 44 Posted May 17, 2013 I have hunted the shelves and the internet on this subject. I have concluded I'm going to take the Vitamins that are sold at my surgeon's ofc. I think the brand name is Celebrate. They are made especially for WLS patients. They are formulated based on the type of surgery you have had. I am still pre-op but am looking to start taking them before surgery. I tried a sample of the formula for lap-band patients (chewable), it was tasty and disolved in my mouth quickly.

TheCurvyMermaid 51 Posted May 17, 2013 The Bariatric Advantage ones taste icky to me. As a bandster, you don't have to worry about malabsorbtion in the same way that someone with a bypass or sleeve would, so you may not need something as potent as a bariatric supplement. (They can also be pricey.) Centrum makes an orange flavored chewable, and a liquid, but I personally don't care for the flavor or the gritty texture. I'm currently taking Viactive, which is a chocolate chew. It's 20 calories, but I don't mind it so much because it tastes more like a candy than a Vitamin, and it's only about $7 for a 60 day supply. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but it works for me, and I don't have to worry about a pill getting stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
