Vitamins

[newtonya2012 6]

I am about 5 weeks out and everything is going well except one thing. I absolutely despise chewable vitamins. What kind of Vitamins (brand) are the rest of you taking for your multi and calcium citrate? Is anyone taking gel vitamins? Also where did you buy your vitamins?

I am posting here to bump the thread up and hopefully get more responses. I'm having a terrible time with this as well. I did so much research pre op, and was happy with what I bought (or so I thought). I ended up with Bariatric Advantage sublingual Vitamin B12, Celebrate Calcium PLUS 500, and Celebrate Vitamins Multivitamin Chewable. The B12 isn't bad. It's cherry flavored, and doesn't make me nauseous. The multivitamin is ok flavor-wise, but it does make me nauseous. And the calcium is just awful. They are huge, and I'm supposed to take 3 a day. I'm lucky if I can get one down. They make me so sick to my stomach. And that's even when I make a point to take them on a full stomach.

I would love to hear what other people are taking!

I think I might be the only one here who wasn't put on liquid/chewable medications/multivitamins. I'd say just go get a regular multivitamin

I take the Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate chewables and I take 6 a day! Honestly to me they don't taste that bad they're like sweet tarts. I use the generic cvs spectravite chewable multivitamin it's not horrible. And some generic B12 which is cherry flavored. I think the worst is the omeprazole tho. I crush that into applesauce and just the thought of it makes it hard to get down.

I looked into Gummy vites but they don't have the required amount of nutrients plus they add unwanted carbs.

I was told no gummies...

I am using Centrum chewables and Viactiv

I use vita craves sour gummies for my multi. I also take a Gummy D3, sublingual B12, B1, Biotin (for my hair), Iron with Vitamin C and the citrical petites.

I have not been sleeved yet but have started my supplements in prep. I take the chewable Celebrate multi Vitamin and the Celebrate Calcet lemon cream Creamy Bites which were recommended by someone else on here - they are great! Like eating a little treat! Not sure how I'll handle any of these post op but for now they are some of the better Vitamins I've taken.

I recently started on the wellness liquid Vitamins and I like them, the taste is doable for me and it doesn’t upset my stomach.
