dannyv909 2 Posted January 31, 2013 i have heard Bariatric Advantage are good, although I have never tried them. I buy TwinLabs - Barriatric Support for my wife and she likes them. They are also less expensive than Bariatric Advantage. (If you buy them on Amazon ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simplejaxgirl 135 Posted January 31, 2013 I take 2 flinstone complete chewable Multivitamins, GNC B-12 sublingual, and a small Iron pill (only pill besides PPI/prilosec that isn't chewable). You do not have to take the bariatric brands, just check with your nutritionist to make sure that whatever you choose is ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambalam 54 Posted January 31, 2013 I take the Celebrate multi complete twice a day this includes Iron and all the b's. For Calcium I take the Calcet citrate Creamy Bites three times a day which includes vit D. I also use the my med schedule app which texts me when its time to take them, they have to be spaced 2 hours apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arthritis_me 12 Posted January 31, 2013 Try liquid Floridex for Iron, it'll absorb MUCH better. I like the Gummy vits so if you can find these is a much more tasty option. I have liquid B12 that tastes good too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sramos89 260 Posted February 2, 2013 After 4 months I finally found a multi Vitamin I like. They are ameriwell tabs and you dissolve them in Water and it makes a little "jello shot" that you slide down- tastes like a vitamin Jello but not gritty and has a great dose of all that I need and only 15 a month. Some may not like the hassle of making jello each week but I make a weeks worth at a time and I will actually take these- my chewable just sit there- I don't like chewing them and so I put them off and then end up not taking them.

Oh, good suggestion! Never heard of the jello approach. I tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate tabs and capsules, respectively. Both made me hurl. Next I tried a trader joe high potency tab. That worked and tastes good to me. Now I am taking a GNC men's formula for active trainers, just what I need for high intensity running. I hope you find something that works and that you like.
