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...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
