Bariatric Advantage vs. Optisource



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if any of you have used theses Vitamins. Thoughts' date=' comments, suggestions? hair loss prevention is a must for me. Thanks![/quote']

I could not stand the BA Vitamins. Made me hurl every morning post op. Switched to Celebrate capsule. These are OK if you spread them out all day, one at each meal. Otherwise same hurling story. I think it was the Iron in them. Finally I switched to a chewable tab from trader joes. I can eat them with zero issues and 6 month labs were really good for Vitamin levels.

I second that BA Vitamins are vile and should be avoided. They may be good Vitamins, but they taste like... well if you try one, you'll see >.<

I eventually ended up doing what a lot of people do, which is going to gummy vitamins and supplementing my minerals. My last round of blood work was good on everything, so it seems to be okay.

I bought the optisource on Amazon because they got really good reviews but they are really gross. They are about the size of a nickel and a quarter inch thick. They are all orange flavored and the worst part is you have to take 4/ day. I switched back to flintstones. I don't have time to remember to take Vitamins 4 times a day.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
