I am also 3 weeks post op! I take two Flintstones Complete Vitamins (chewable) each morning. Are you taking a chewable Vitamin? The Flintstones aren't the greatest thing on the planet but not horrible either. Good luck!

Agree, agree, agree!!!!! I'm still not sound that great. The Calcium and B12 are ok - it's the multi that is killing me. I gave tried chewable and liquid and neither would stay down!

I struggled with this also... Tries both chewable nd liquid, threw them both up with minutes of swallowing. I have switched to Centrum 1 a day gummies, I take double the dose, so 4 gummies in the morning. I still take my chewable Iron and Vit B, but my Vitamin D is also Gummy. Good luck to you, and don't give up!

I couldn't stomache any of them but the flinstone children's Vitamins. My Dr told me I could quit taking them if they were making me sick. But he did tell me it was a must for white females and black males. ( didn't ask why )

There are a Gummy version of almost every mineral/ Vitamin and they tend to taste good. They use natural fruit flavors. For a mutil vitamin, I've been taking Centrum flavor bites. They are much better then the other chewables I've tried. There are also gummy Multi Vitamins, but my dr told me to try centrum first...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
