Vitamin Recommendation?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, can anyone recommend a Gummy Vitamin that has Iron in it? As well as all the Vitamins you would find in a multi vitamin. Currently I take vita fusion , it has 200% Vitamin D which I need, but no iron or zinc. I was told my zinc was a little low in my pre op bloodwork. I'm trying to find that all in one! Thanks

I currently chew on 'Bariatric Fusion' Vitamins, and that has 7.5mg of Iron per tablet. It's not a Gummy, but chewable tablets that taste pretty all right to me. One tablet is chewed 3 times daily so I guess you would be getting 22.5mg of Iron. You can look at the nutrition here: supplements.html?gclid=CJ3hhpKHpLECFUcHRQodzg9OkA" rel="external nofollow">http://www.bariatric...CFUcHRQodzg9OkA. Just click on the 'Nutrition Facts' tab below the picture. It doesn't provide directions for VSG on this website, but it states it on the bottle directly as "Sleeve Gastrectomy: Chew 1 tablet, 3x daily"

Hope you find a brand for your needs...

I take the children's Vitamins. They taste better, but you have to take two. They also come in dinosaur shapes which my son likes.

I take One a Day Vita Craves with Omega 3 gummies. I was told to take double the dosage so I take 4 a day and I take a B 50 complex Vitamin from GNC once a day. I just had my post op blood work done and all my levels have shown to be very good.

I take a one of the chewy Vitamins, I think vita craves too. I take 2 a day but maybe I need to look into that. I tried Bariatric Advantage but I just could not get them down, yuck.

The Bariatric Advantage made me soooooo sick! I could not stomach them. I'm playing around with Vitamins now. I found a liquid but it's nasty too. I didn't know I could take the gummies. How far out post-op can you start the Gummy? I need something that I can stomach. I was looking for a prenatal gelcap but cannot find one to save my life!

I take the Celebrate Vitamins at the recommendation of my NUT. http://www.celebratevitamins.com/shop/

They are the mandarin orange flavor. I don't take the one with Iron, but it does look like they have one. They don't taste amazing, but they're easy enough to get down and only 1 twice daily.

I started them about 2 months out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
