Is there any reason why some sleeve patients are discouraged from taking gummi Vitamins? Does anyone know?

first I love my gummi vitamins...but my NUT so no go after surgery. His reason was that gummies do not have all the Vitamins we need. He said one in particular was thaimin and that chewables were better and contained more of the vitamins we need. My friend's NUT told her that gummies aren't absorded well in sleeve patients. So not sure which is true but I guess I will be gummi free after sleeve.

I had my surgery April 8th and was given a list of pills to buy from Bariatric Choice, I found the Iron, B12 and Calcium I liked however the chewable Multivitamins to me were nasty. I spoke to my surgeon about it and he said I could have any kind of multivitamins including the gummies; which Is what I am using now. I wonder why every doctor is different with this?!

      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...

        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.
