immeagain 4 Posted September 28, 2011 Recently someone posted about Vitamins and how hard they are to get down, I didn't want to hijack someone's thread so I wanted to make a new thread. I am able to get the vitamins down ok but need some recommendations for a good Multivitamin and where you get them. I really would prefer chewable, melts, or gummies but if there are smaller vitamins,that would be great. I can't do the huge one right now... hurts my belly! Thanks in advance.

meggspeggs 0 Posted September 28, 2011 I use the adult Gummy ones from costco. I was using Bariatric Choice chewables but they make me sick. My gummy ones are delicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrMommy 4 Posted September 28, 2011 I would love to take the gummy's as everything else makes me sick. But my doc said no to those because they don't provide enough nutrients for a bariatric patient. Did your doc ok them? I use the adult Gummy ones from costco. I was using bariatric choice chewables but they make me sick.

meggspeggs 0 Posted September 28, 2011 No he didn't. I go see him next week and will check then. I feel like its better to get the Gummy ones in than to throw up the others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sasicas 194 Posted September 28, 2011 I would love to take the gummy's as everything else makes me sick. But my doc said no to those because they don't provide enough nutrients for a bariatric patient. Did your doc ok them? I also take the costco adult gummies. The NUT said the same thing at our appts however they work great for me. My lab work has been great at the 3 and 6 month appts, the only thing off was Vit D and that has to do with where I live. And I should admit that I rarely remember to take them but it seems the food I am eating has done plenty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amtirado79 0 Posted September 28, 2011 It was recommended to me by my nutritionist that I take the flinstone Vitamins. You can chew them and they taste good and are not hard to get down. So, I have stuck to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caliblonde 25 Posted September 28, 2011 I take the costco adult gummies and was told that was fine by my surgeon. I tried the Flintstones complete but they made me throw up so I had to switch. I also tried the Centrum adult gummies, but they made me sick as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaS 316 Posted September 28, 2011 I take Celebrate Vitamins. You can get free samples sent to you by registering at their website. I order them online. I've recently switched to capsules for the multivitamin, but I really like the chewable Iron (orange), so I'm not switching that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
