jensjoy28 351 Posted June 8, 2013 I was told since we need less Vitamins then kids that is good...I still take Calcium too I had never heard that before about adults needing less than kids...so thought I'd look it up...according to the government's National Institute of Health that publishes the Recommended Dietary Allowance and issues fact sheets for health professionals and the public on Vitamins and supplements, adults need more than kids of almost everything (Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, folate and Iron are the ones I looked at)...calcium was the one that I noted where adults 19-50 need less than teens and seniors. I remember loving those as a kid...got some post-op and, let's just say my current impression did not match my memory... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as I said each doc/nut is different. I will keep taking the adult or bariatric Vitamins and the Lil extra they provide. Can't hurt....I will need all the help I can get on this journey....

SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted June 8, 2013 Kcolli28 Bariatric Advantage was the other company if you email them they will send you out samples also. They will return your email asking you to call them. When you call them they will your info and send you out samples. You get them within a few days. Awesome to just try out to see if you'd like before you buy.

LadyKatie 61 Posted June 8, 2013 Thanks everyone for so many options, because all doctors are different ill probably look into the ones especially for bariatric patients to be safe. 1 SuNMooNStaRS816 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Megs81 41 Posted June 9, 2013 Just to add my 2 cents in... My Dr puts us on Centrum silver chewable. They take a bit to get use to but over all not too bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chas74 56 Posted June 9, 2013 I started with the Bariatric Advantage but they made me sick. Ive been taking Centrum Flavor Bursts multiviamin and mineral and you can take them with or without food.

LadyKatie 61 Posted June 9, 2013 Thanks ill look into those too. To take the silver is that because you are over 50 or just better for people after bariatric surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaijingal 62 Posted July 3, 2013 I got the opurity from the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury site, and it makes me vomit violently just minutes after taking it. It has at least twice the recommended dose for almost all the Vitamins, and I think it's one of the B-vitamins that does it. Perhaps yours are a little too potent as well. I'm a little annoyed, because they were EXPENSIVE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
