Need non-gross chewable Vitamin recommendations ....gummies?



Recommended Posts

I'm currently taking opurity chewable (specifically for gastric sleeve) and I can barely tolerate them.

I have to literally talk myself out of throwing them up /spitting them out/gagging while chewing. It's making me avoid taking them. What about gummies? Are there any that meet WLS post-op requirements?

I'm also taking sub-lingual B Complex/B12. I don't start calcium citrate until week 4.

Help!

My doc told me Centrum chewables was fine. That's what i take, Citrus flavored. For Calcium, Citracal gummies. Tastes like gum drops.

For the first couple of months, I did Flinstones complete with Iron, twice a day ground up in my protien shakes. Gross, but I could choke them down mixed in shake. Gummys do not provide the right nutrients we VSGers need.

Your taste will continue to change so don't invest your life in Vitamins. I now take TJ chewable Multivitamin at 2 1/2 years out.

Do what you can and remember things get better/easier.

I take the Bariactic Advantage chewables and feel sick everytime. I try to avoid them but my hubby is always asking if I took them yet. He is concerned I'll get sick if I don't. In the market for a new Vitamin now also

I use Celebrate Vitamins. I use the grape multivitamin, grape Iron, and the tart cherry Calcium. They don't taste too bad I must say. The multivitamin is the only one I found to have a little aftertaste but I just chew it first and then the other ones.

I drink this

I drink the nutritional beverage (3oz) a day and an energy drink. The products are full of Vitamins and taste great. My blood work check up came back great and was told not to change anything.

I also take Calcium chews from GNC.

Hope this can help y'all too!

Good luck on this fabulous journey:-)

I take Bariatric Fusion Vitamins in orange cream flavor. I get them from my doc but have seen them on Amazon. They're not bad as far as vitamins go.

I just took my first Celebrate calcium plus. It's my first time to puke since surgery 12/19!!! I handled the multivitamin and the Iron but it immediately came back up with calcium. I didn't mind the flavor. Any suggestions? I took them spaced out and had something in my stomach!

Sorry I don't have any suggestions. Sorry that it caused you to get sick. That sucks
