I'm in Australia so they are different from the US:

Blackmores Sustained Release with Antioxidants multi - 1 per day

Blackmores Total Bone Health (calcium citrate, Vitamin D, magnesium - 600 mg total calcium) - 2 per day

Fiber chews - 2 per day

Nexium 20mg - 1 per day

I take Trader Joe's chewable High Potency Multis (bought at Trader Joe's of course). I pick up whatever Vitamin D supplement is on sale at Kroger or CVS. The rest I get from Amazon - Wellesse liquid Iron, Citracal Petites (for the first 4 weeks after surgery I used Wellesse liquid Calcium instead), and Bariatric Advantage Chewable Probiotic. I buy the Equate brand of sugar free Fiber supplement -- same fiber as in Benefiber but fewer calories and carbs, also cheaper -- and add it as needed to my Protein Shakes and yogurt.

Wellesse also makes liquid multivitamins and B complex if you prefer liquid to chewable or Gummy.< /p>

I was taking gummies from Flintstones. They made me feel nauseous, and I was not sure for the cause. Later I found out that it contained fillers like Lactose, Sucrose, Flavonoids, Artificial Flavorings, and Red Dyes which caused my symptoms.

As for chewable I used to take Centrum Multivitamin products, like the Flavor Burst Chews, contain the allergen soy. Generally soy allergies cause mild reactions, including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, sneezing, hives and red watery eyes. Apart from that some chewable tablet multivitamins from Centrum contain lactose which is a big problem if you are lactose intolerant. The same was with Celebrate Vitamins.< /p>

I wasn’t very fond of liquids so I was stuck with the last option of capsules. After consulting my nut, he advised me to take Vita4Life bariatric Vitamins and supplements. Being apprehensive I did my research and found that vita4life did not contain any fillers and mentioned the compounds clearly on the website. Its been two years that I have been taking these vitamins and they have helped me get good labs without any side-effects.

I was told absolutely no gummies. I'm taking Centrum chewable now. Haven't got my others yet as I am having surgery on the 22.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
