Another vitamin question...



Recommended Posts

I use the Centrium Silver chewable - it doesn't have a lot of Iron in it, so I also take a Celebrate iron supplement a couple of times a week.

I got the bariatric chewable from Twin Lab from Vitamin Shoppe. 60 of em for $12. Not a bad deal. And they taste better than the Flinstones chewables (which my dr doesn't recommend)

My surgeon says gummys and swallowables are ok 2 weeks post-surgery. I have been chewing the Centrum flavor bursts 4 chewables 2 times per day and they are soooo sweet I can't stand it! I tried GNC chewable mutli-vitamins for women again so disgusting tasting I can't get them down.... I would be interested to know what you end up with, not having good luck with products myslef!

I'm not tolerating the children's chewable multi-Vitamin with Iron supplements. Can anyone recommend a good tasting chewable? Are Gummy Vitamins okay?

I use these they have chewable and a powder you can put into your Water and specifically for wls patients!

My surgeon Dr. Copper told me no Gummy, just chewable tablets. He told me your body does not absorb all that Vitamins in a gummy texture.

I use the bariatric advantage' date=' i crush them up and mix it with 1/4c of Greek yogurt, this way my yogurt taste tropical, i get Protein and i can manage them better! Becuz they are DISGUSTING! It takes me 30 min to eat it but it works![/quote']

Maybe it's the flavor of the Bariatric Advantage chewables that you ordered. I like the Lemon Lime and just finished a 90 count bottle. Just received the orange chewable today. Tastes like Tang.

My favorite thing from BA is the Calcium chews. I love the caramel flavor - my nightly "candy" treat.

Donamay: suggest you get a chewable multi without Iron. Iron can cause Constipation. I experimented with lots of iron tablets and finally found Ferasol, a plant-based iron that is non- constipating. Avail at Walgreens.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
