GAG, so over the chewable vitamins!



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a complete multi Vitamin that's not a chewable?

Thank you!

Try Wellesse Multi Vitamin+. They're liquid. I just got mine in the mail today...Natural Citrus Flavor. Tastes like slightly diluted orange juice. I don't mind taking the ounce (2 measuring tablespoons) directly honestly, and that's saying a lot as I absolutely despise liquid/chewable Vitamins and medicine tasting stuff. But this wasn't bad at all. Well at least not as bad as all the others I've tried. Yuck! However, I did add it to my orange flavored Energy crystal lite to make a tasty SuperMommy Infusion! So that it would last me all day rather than just take a shot of the stuff and hope it does. But that's just moi. I think you can get it at most RiteAids too....I ordered via vitacost.com. But you can always call your local Riteaid and check.

Good luck. :D

oooh....and you can always just add them to your favorite drinks and shakes and it's like orange juice....so the possibilities are limitless. Here's a link to some examples of homemade Vitamin Water that tastes waaaaay better than the useless brand stuff. (I love this women, everyone needs to check her recipes out!!OMG!!)

or.....there's always gummies. :)

I do the chewable fruity gummies and they are good! I always want more than 2! Got mine at walmart! I tried the liquid and those bariactric chewables and couldn't do it!

I've noticed on the gummies that there isn't Iron. I had the vitafusion and took them back- they are by far the most delish! I have multivitamins that are small- does that make them ok? I am finding the chewables to be gross. Can I just take the small (smaller than m&m) ones?

You are correct, they don't. I try to take feosol (when I remember separately). Which small ones did you find that have a good set of Vitamins? I need those, they will be easier to travel with than my gummies. I don't see why they would be a problem if they are small.

We do two at a time along with Omega 3 gummies, 2 Fiber gummies, and one b complex Gummy. That's our desert these days. Once we can do pills I will cut them out. I also try to do the barbaric advantage caramel Calcium ones. Sooo tasty!

I don't take a multi with Iron, as the iron can cause Constipation. I went through several types of iron supplements, and finally started taking Ferasol, a plant based iron that doesn't cause constipation.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
