I get deathly ill off of all of these muiltis the Celebrate ones the one a days the bariatric drink I dont know what to do.....i know i can handle gummies but the NUT said they dont have enough in them is that true or were they just wanting me to buy there brand . Im worried i wont be able to handle these vit. and not get enough in my system .what did your doc say about what your taking do you feel okay?

I tried the other chewable Vitamins, because I need the Iron, but could not stomach the taste AT ALL. I have been taking the Flintstone's gummies(2 of them) just to get something in. I know I will have to eventually take the other ones with Iron, but I will wait till I can swallow a Vitamin. Right now, I just do what I can.

The gummies have MUCH less Vitamins, that is true. If you cannot stomach anything else, you'll just have to have more gummies. Unfortunately, that also means more calories.

I know my nephew just said that he has the hardest time when taking vitamins on an empty stomach -- how are you taking yours? Have you tried taking them after a meal?

did u have a super sensitive stomach and these did not bother u?

I hate chewable anything, so i just waited until i was 2 months out and started taking pill forms, but most were way too big for me. Just recently I saw on HSN a multi that is perfect for post-WLS peeps. it has extra D and extra B12. I still take an extra Calcium. This is the smallest of capsules and goes down easy. There is no after burps, or tummy troubles at all.

Here is a comparison to another complete: http://img.hsni.com/...Essential-1.pdf

It is called Essentials 1! I have so much more energy just after taking it for 2 weeks, and it seems to be all in 1 pill! I really was taken with the way they are made and have no added stuff to hold the pills together. That is a big thing, I am allergic to a lot of that!

Forgot to add that it is HSN and if you do not like them for any reason you have 30 days to return whatever you didn't use for a refund!!
