Anyone Have A "strange" Relationship With Their Vitamins

[Dooter 1,457]

Dooter what brand of vitiamins did u get? Where did u find them?

I got Bariatric Advantage that I ordered online, and they are WRETCHED! The only ones I kept are the whole pills, like the Vitamin D and B12. I gave away the chewable multis and chewable Calcium. BLECH. I ended up going to the store and got some chewable prenatal Vitamins to tide me over til I found a more suitable bariatric formula. Now that I can swallow whole pills, I'll be looking for something like that. My doc said anything the size of an M&M is ok, so I may have to cut the pills.

I want to try the ones Stacey131 has!

I was told to take chewables almost right away. Even though I was on liquids. Just chew them until they ARE liquid in your mouth. Use a good bariatric quality Vitamin.

My instructions are to start back with my Multivitamin and supplements after my 2 week post op appt with my Dr.

I wish I felt that way also. I purchased Celebrate bariatric Vitamins and they make me physically I'll. They are free to a good home. I had to order capsules...I hope they go down easily.

What flavored do you have? I may be interested! Thanks

I wasn't allowed to start Vitamins until after week 2, and then only half the dose. The next week moving up to two Vitamins, calciums, and b-12. My nut was concerned how my stomach could handle it and told me if there was any problem to discontinue as I wasn't ready for that yet. But no probs so far.

The multi-complete chewable has Iron and comes in a Forest berry Flavor. The Calcium Plus 500 are Orange Burst. My doc thinks my new pouch is just still a little sensitive so she suggested the capsules for me.
