My surgeon said to take two Flintstones chewable daily. They taste great and they are very inexpensive.

I use Bariatric Advantage, and I think they taste great. There are multiple flavors, you may try another flavor.

My surgeon advised against using Flinstones, because they were not nutritionally sound.

That is inaccurate information according to a number of sources, not the least of which is the American Association of Pediatrics. They are most certainly nutritionally sound. What I have discovered in my research is that most surgeons who have a financial stake in their client using the Bariatric Advantage products, most often will recommend that brand. Unlike the gastric bypass, the gastric sleeve produces no malabsorption so it isn't necessary to take 20 times more Vitamins then you would've taken before you were sleeved.

In addition to the fact that the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins taste awful to most people who post on this site, they also contain a much higher quantity of each Vitamin than can be absorbed by the body in one day. A lot of what you're taking in with the bariatric advantage vitamins is being washed away and not absorbed because they're water-soluble.

This is an ongoing discussion on dozens of threads over the last two years. It will continue to rage on long after all of us have lost all of our weight. In the end it's just a matter of preference. Do your research. Taste them. Figure out how much you can afford to spend. Then choose, and don't look back.

I posted a poll a while back. Celebrate came in on top for taste:

I use a chewable gummi one a day multi Vitamin daily , 1 Calcium plus Vitamin D chewy chocolate flavored. They both taste good, 28 g Iron that I open up and put into appla sauce. I read that your not suppose to take them all at once together ,but to separate them by a few hours(I do that). Hope this helps

My doc gave me the approval for a regular multivitamin, but I've puked up ever one I've tried. I did get a new one the other day called a natures miracle MINI and it is a gel cap and actually went down ok and didn't come up
