Gummie Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Wondering if anyone's NUT or Dr advises against gummie vitamins.. I like the gummie Vitamins better than regular chewables.. I have a complete gummie Vitamin and I took it pre-op every day and all blood work was great.. I also bought the Bariatric Advantage chewables for after surgery, but I hate the after taste.. So I've been taking 2 gummies in the morning and one bariatric advantage at night.. I'm only 2 months post op.. Any info would be appreciated!

My nut say no to gummies. They have no Iron in them so you would have to take that separately.

gummy vitamins are not good for many reasons. The most important thing is that we need Vitamins specifically made for bariatric patients. There are non chewables we can take. There are liquids and capsules. Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate Vitamins are made for us. Anything you get at the store isn't going to be sufficient in the long run.

I would really check with your doctor. Remember each doctor is different. My doc and NUT said as long as we were getting in the recommended amount they did not care how we got it. gummies were fine as long as they were giving us what they wanted us to have. I took gummies for the first few months, but then got tired of the taste. Please check with your doc though!

Can these be purchased in a store or are they online only?

      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.
