Are Flintstones complete really good enough? Critic my vitamin list please

[mikeross 216]

I am a couple days shy of 4 weeks post op. I am currently taking Celebrate Multivitamin capsules but sometimes they make me feel ill. Its hit or miss, has nothing to do if I take them on a full stomach or not. Sometimes they are fine and sometimes they make me feel like I am going to puke them up.

So for the last couple days I have been taking 2 Flintstones complete Multivitamins. They are chewable, go down fine and stay down with no ill effects. I would love to continue taking these as my daily Multivitamins but I have read so many mixed reviews on them. Can anyone verify if these are ok for someone with a VSG. I doubt they are good enough for DS or RNY patients but what about people like us without malabsorption issues.

Can you guys check out my daily list of Vitamins I am taking to let me know if I am missing out on anything. Again, I have read so many mixed comments in regards to what I should be taking that it would be nice if I can get some feedback on the exact Vitamins I am taking daily. I do not take an Iron supplement because I was told men do not have to... is this correct?

I take...

2 Flintstones complete chewables

1 Celebrate B12

2 packets of Upcal D 500mg each of Calcium. I mix my Protein shakes with almond milk. I get an additional 450mg Calcium per shake, drink 2 shakes per day. Total calcium 1900mg daily.

That is all I can take per my nut is Flinestones. But I take a lot more supplements than that!

The Flintstones are more than sufficient since children need more Vitamins than adults in many cases. Look at the bottle, most levels are over 100% of the daily requirement for Adults. I just had labs done for my 1 year post op visit. Everything was great with the exception of Vitamin D. I am at toxic levels in that because of the levels found in both my Calcium and the Flintstones I'm looking for a lower dosage in the calcium supplements as soon as my current supply runs out. The calcium citrate gummies the best.

I take two Vitafusion multi gummies and 1 Flintstone multi with Iron per day. I just had my 3 month labs done and they were perfect. You may want to also try the Vitafusion multi gummies. They are very tolerable. You can get a big bottle at Sams for good price.
