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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
