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

      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.
