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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
