khailey1230 45 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm 5 day post-op today and I'm letting my chewable vitamins dissolve in my mouth but it taste nasty anyways. Is there anyway that I can break it into small pieces and then drink it even though its chewable? ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kisersassy 369 Posted February 11, 2013 Most doctors recommend the Flintstones complete. 2 times a day my surgeon doesn't even start you on Calcium until your 3 months post op and Vitamin B12 at around 6-8 weeks post op. They haven't said anything about Iron. I guess I will find out Wednesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommywifeandfat 32 Posted February 11, 2013 I buy my Vitamins from Celebrate Vitamins. It's a kit. For 3 months of all the vitamins I need is like $140. I have chewable Multi Vitamins which also have the B vitamins. A Calcium plus D supplement (start 6 weeks post op) and a B complex I take twice a week. At 1 week post op my surgeon gave me the clear to swallow my pills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted February 11, 2013 Most doctors recommend the Flintstones complete. 2 times a day my surgeon doesn't even start you on Calcium until your 3 months post op and Vitamin B12 at around 6-8 weeks post op. They haven't said anything about Iron. I guess I will find out Wednesday That's the same protocol as my doc. The flint stones each have a fairly high Iron content so mine doesn't require additional iron unless yours gets low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kat23 47 Posted February 11, 2013 My doc recommends 2 flint stones complete and B12 in the morning. Flints tones are cheap and I bought the B12 sublinquals when it was BOGO free at my supermarket. So....very cheap there for Vitamins. After 3 weeks, we start calcium citrate. I chose chewables I found at the Vitamin Shoppe for about $15 for a months worth. Doc wants us to take 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening. If you can't find an affordable chewable, our NUT has told us that you could dissolve the Calcium citrate tab in Water to take it if you can't tolerate swallowing it. Hope that helps.

Still Misbehavin 5 Posted February 11, 2013 I buy my Vitamins from Celebrate Vitamins. It's a kit. For 3 months of all the vitamins I need is like 140. I have chewable Multi Vitamins which also have the B vitamins. A Calcium plus D supplement (start 6 weeks post op) and a B complex I take twice a week. At 1 week post op my surgeon gave me the clear to swallow my pills. YEP! And you can order a sample pack (3-4 days worth) for $3. I kept track of the flavors that I liked and disliked. celebratevitamins.com The best part about this site- it SPECIFICALLY for bariatric patients. You choose which procedure you had and they show you the complete cycle of recommended vitamins! IT'S AN AWESOME SITE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
