Yes. I take Target's home brand version of them. They taste just the same as my little girl's Vitamins, which she adores.

They felt weird going down. I don't want to do any damage. Did they feel weird to you?

My mom is a bariatric certified nurse and works in a Surgical Weight Loss Center of Excellence. She picked up my Vitamins for me and they are Gummy. I'd say they should be OK.

Good to know!

I'm curious, I haven't had my surgery yet but sometimes when I take my vitamins I feel kinda nauseous. Does this happen to anyone after the sleeve? How do u take all those vitamins when eating so little?

It's a process I get food on stomach first before I start Vitamins. And Prilosec first

I do take them but waited about two weeks. They are now actually a treat for me. I take two of the Fiber and two of the Multivitamin and a caltrate chew each mid morning in place of a snack. they actually give me a nice little hold over to my next meal! The good thing is they are not harsh on an empty stomach like regular Vitamins.< /p>

After surgery it's important to be getting the appropriate amount of nutrients especially since we are in a malnourished state. If you look at what's in gummies and what's in bariatric Vitamins they kinda don't measure up. Also with all the side effects like Hair loss taking the appropriate vitamins long term is of utmost importance. I blend my Vitamin into my shake.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
