kellyw74 258 Posted July 24, 2011 I took gummies in the begining, but my nut said they didn't give me enough nutrients. So I went to BA multi. After a few weeks they began to make me sick, so at 4 weeks post-op I was able to swallow BIG pills and switched to Centrum. I have been taking them ever since!

tmela28 2 Posted July 24, 2011 hmmm Centrum doesnt sit well with me either. If my doctor feels like the gummies are really not good then i will ask about prenatal Vitamins I just had a baby 8 months ago and the ones i was on did not make me sick. Those prob have a lot of stuff in them??? I took gummies in the begining, but my nut said they didn't give me enough nutrients. So I went to BA multi. After a few weeks they began to make me sick, so at 4 weeks post-op I was able to swallow BIG pills and switched to Centrum. I have been taking them ever since!

exoticheart 5 Posted July 24, 2011 My surgeon said the gummies are fine, just double them ...so I eat 4 a day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeblewb 9 Posted July 24, 2011 Target has prenatal gummies that I take. My doc and nut said they were fine and my bloodwork has been fine, so why make myself sick. I eat two a day, plus sublingual B12 and Calcium. Has worked well for me. I could not stomach any of the chewable ones. I tried many types and spent lots of money before I switched to these.

Jimmy James 0 Posted August 7, 2011 Gummys apparently don't have I want to say Thiamine, so bear that in mind. I have a big container I bought at Sam's Club before I knew what to look for. I plan on mixing them in over the next year so I take chewables recommended most of the time but use the Gummy ones maybe 40% of the time until they're gone. It's good to know I should be sure to have them on hand in case I can't tolerate the chewables at some point because I do agree they're certainly better than nothing.
