Bariatric Advantage Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

I am wondering if anyone takes these and is interested in B12, Calcium or the Multivitamin. I ordered them and they didn't sit well with me. Today I got an email that they sent out a refill order and I didn't realize I set that up. I can't take them but they won't take them back. So, I am set to receive them this week. Anyone interested in them? PM me:)

I am in the same boat with allot left over--I don't like taking them either. I could take them with yogurt, but alone they make me ill. I try to remember to take one now and again with yogurt so they don't all go to waste...

Yup! They are chewable. They should arrive this week. Brand New. Will not even open the box -- will just slap on another label and send out. :frown1:

Are they chewables?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that these make ill. Have you tried the passionfruit flavored Iron? I've re-dubbed them "sweaty ball sac flavor." I know that is crude and disgusting, but so are those vitamins! Hope you find a taker for your Vitamins

I AM SO GLAD I RAN ACROSS THIS SITE AND HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE EXPERIENCES WITH ALL OF YOU. I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE Bariatric Advantage VITAMINS:thumbdown: I ONLY TOOK ONE AND IT MADE ME GAG. I'M AFRAID TO TRY ANOTHER ONE. IF ANYONE HAS FOUND ANY GREAT FOODS THAT ARE ALLOWED ON THE NEXT PHASE, SOFT food, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. HOPE TO LOSE ENOUGH WEIGHT TO BE ABLE TO RUN AFTER MY TWO GRANDCHILDREN. MY FIRST IS NOW 4 AND A NEW ONE IS DUE AROUND XMAS. I STARTED OUT AT 290 LBS, SO I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. MY HUSBAND AND I CURRENTLY LIVE IN METAIRIE WHICH IS A SUBURB OF NEW ORLEANS. IT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH WITH ALL OF THE GREAT food DOWN HERE, BUT I AM GOING TO GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT.

LOL, I'm not sayin' I know exactly what that would taste like, but I'm just imagining that it can't be too far from the "passionfruit flavored" Bariatric Advantage Iron lol.

Anything chewable usually makes me gag. The NUT just recommended Celebrate Vitamins that has a type of Vitamin that dissolves in Water and it is alike crystal light... I can't imagine he is right though...

I told him it was easy for him to say because he can swallow them. SO, he said if that doesn't work we are going to find a regular Vitamin for me to swallow that isn't too big. :crying:

lillita...if they weren't chewable I'd buy them from you but I cannot stand chewables so I quit taking them.

I did switch to the One A Day gummies...they taste like candy! lol

Everything else I swallow.

Which one a day gummies are you taking? I have a gag reflex to almost anything that my body doesn't like :)

      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.
