Recommendation on Vitamins?

[sweeTHEArt 2]

Can someone give me advice on what multi Vitamin to invest in? I originally thought I would just go with the viactive Gummy chews but the nutritionist thinks they will get stuck so I need to find another option. I am worried because I really hate that chalky/grainy texture in my mouth. I am already dreading it and I don't have surgery scheduled until March 20th. Someone please help.

I buy liquid Vitamins from Sams Club called Glacial Milk. You can also buy them online. They have all the nutrients and then a lot of extras. You can look at glacialmok.net

Here is a little of what they have in it:

ITC began with a 60% base of Aloe Vera, Mangosteen, Acai berry, Noni juice and Pomegranate. We then added 77 Plant Source Ionic Major and Trace Minerals, 10 Fortified Minerals, 16 Vitamins & Nutrients, 18 Amino Acids and 3 Essential Fatty Acids. These are highly absorbable ingredients in one great tasting product suited for the whole family.

I buy Liquid Health Daily Multiple. I usually mix it into juice or Crystal Light, but it tastes good on it's own. It costs about $25-30, but it's a month supply, so I think it is worth it. Good luck with your decision.

I bought the chewy ones. I guess I'll grab the Centrum chewables instead

I originally bought Flintstones chewables, but can't stand them. So I just bought a bought of liquid Centrum, which I'm hoping is better.

I got the Centrum chewables, they're fine. But once this bottle is gone, I'll be going back to the Ladies Vitamins I buy from Walmart that i've been taking for two years. You probably won't have any trouble swallowing pills post surgery. As a matter of fact, I was on percocet IN the hospital, and I had to swallow those whole.

I take the following:

Vitamin Shoppe Ultimate Woman w/ Iron Multivitamin

Vitamin Shoppe Biotin 5mg

Ultra Omegas DHA/EPA (Fish Oil)

Cranberry

I originally tried the Centrum liquid.. the taste was OK but it had that nasty Vitamin smell which I couldn't get past as I was trying to take it. My current Multi-Vitamin is a horse pill but I've had no problem getting it down. I've got another fill scheduled for tomorrow so we'll see how it goes on Wednesday. By the way, if you find that your pills are tough to get down, I found that room temperature Water is much better to use than cold Water.< /p>

A trick I learned from another bandster is to drink a glass of COLD COLD water 5 minutes before I eat if I happen to be ravenous or around food that's not so good for you. It makes my band feel tighter and I definitely walk away feeling good.

I tried

I like the Source of Life liquid, it has lots of good stuff. Doesn't taste too terrible, I can handle it. They have it at Fred Meyer stores, or online. I also take a fish oil pill but once I start getting fills I bet I won;t be able to 'cuz they are kinda big. The fish oil pills I take are from Trader Joes and are the deodorized ones.

I thought the reason we weren't supposed to take whole pills of any kind was to prevent irritation to our small pouch. I would check with your Dr.
