I take chewables, too, but think I'm going to switch to liquid. There are some days when I look at the bottle & walk away; can't deal with it. On those days I take gummies.

Years ago I took a liquid vitamin/mineral supplement that I bought online. I can't remember the name, but I keep searching. They were great Vitamins, and were decent tasting. But you can find liquids in the health food stores....or the Vitamin Shoppe. That may be a good alternative, if you're having ongoing issues with the chewable.< /p>

Yep. I was taken completely off all the Vitamins because they made me dry heave. Doctor told me that we may want to revisit it later and if my B12 comes back low he's going to make me do the B12 shots, but I don't take any vitamins at all right now.

I have a bottle of Nature Made gummies, but (I don't know why) I don't feel that they're potent enough. They seem to be lacking in some areas.

Which ones are y'all taking?

i take gummies and the flintstones kids chewables.< /p>

do they make you nauseated because of the flavor or is it just the Vitamins? until i got used to them I had to take them at night right before bed and this has always been the case even with prenatal pills that you swallow.

Hope something works out, Good luck!

Wow a lot of you guys are saying that you take the gummies but my nutritionist said that I absolutely could not have gummies after surgey. Anyone know why that could be?

I was told out any meds in a 1/2 Vinger for 10 mins. Vinger acts like the acid in ur stomach. If the medicine dissolves you can have it. I'm sure tummies don't.

Your nutritionist is right after surgery it's not good to have gummies, because it's not the right time for this. You need to have proper mediation after surgery.

I just recently saw a commercial for something called VitaMelts.. Guess it melts in your mouth and they come in yummy flavors. I remember when I was first banded, I tried the Bariatric Advantage chewables, they were aweful.. I used the Flinstones, gummies, then finally just went to basic Multi Vitamins you swallow, I take it at night of course as its most easiest for me to swallow.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
