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.

      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?

      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.
