UNbLIVable 10 Posted December 18, 2013 I'm on day 9 post op and I've been taking 2 Flinstones with added Iron for a Multivitamin. I was taking Centrum chewables but stopped post op after I got home because I'm currently having to take; Augmentin, Hydrocodone, sublingual B complex, sublingual D, Protonix, plus my multivitamin Every Day! The centrum chewable I was taking did not have added iron and I had to chew 4 gumball size chewables a day. I started takin the Flinstones because they have the added iron and I only need to take 2 a day and they are small. Someone told me it's BAD!!!! What should I take for a multi?

roundisashape 712 Posted December 18, 2013 I can't speak to what's better or worse, but Flintstones with Iron are on the list of approved Vitamins my surgeon gave me. I'll be watching the responses you get - the size, taste and price are right , but I wasn't sure either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs.RRn 2,111 Posted December 18, 2013 My surgeon suggested the Flintstones complete- which is what I take. As long as it's ok with your doc, it's good. 1 sandisleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandisleeve 563 Posted December 28, 2013 I look forward to my Vitamins because they are really the only things that don't cause much hernia chest pain and actually taste good to me. Currently only cleared to take B12, Calcium and multis -- soon will add d3, Biotin and b complex The adora chocolate Calicum disks are a real treat 2x a day -- picked them up at Vitamin Shoppe. Flintstones complete chews are cheapest on Amazon (two 150ct bottles for $26 total and I can share them with my 8yr old niece when she sleeps over) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
