Which Chewable (or not) MultiVitamin?

[Guest drowdie]

When I go on a research tangent, I'm usually well informed and ready to make a decision.

I understand we all must take a Multivitamin, beginning post-op.

Question is: do you go with opurity ( not made in China) or Bariatric Advantage for chews?

I have r/o Flintstones ( not recommended) and wonder what chewable is everyone taking post-op and why?

Taking Source of Life liquid Gold Vitamin. I compared the ingredients to Bariatric Advantage multi, and with the recommendation of a pharmacist friend at a Compound Pharmacy will stay with it. Also doing Bariatric Advantage chewable Iron, and calcium citrate. We take the B-12 shots, Biotin for the hair, and Vitamin D capsules. Lots of opinions here. We get bloodwork done tomorrow and will see how good our choices have been! Just do not over buy and you can change out! Good luck!

Flintstone complete with Iron were on my Nut's approved list. I take them because they taste ok and are small so I can easily take them with me to consume during the day. The best Vitamins are the ones that you take.

My doc recommends 2 Flintstones with Iron post op. I'm preop but hadn't really researched it yet. Can you share why they are ruled out? Just curious.

I take two Vitafusion Gummy Multivitamins. My nut approved them. If I take a Vitamin with zinc (any amount, even just a measly 2.5 mg) I'll become pretty nauseated. That was a terrible trial and error to find something without feeling sick. Also, unfortunately I have to be careful at cold and flu season as a lot of those have zinc.

-any ways, I also take vit d and vet e soft gels.

You might like the Trader Joes adult chewable high potency Vitamins. 200% of everything so works well for bariactric patients. You just need to chew 2 a day. Both my wife and I, along with countless others, have gotten nauseous , gagged, threw up, etc on the Bariatric Advantage nasty berry flavored chews. Our NUT approved us taking the TJ adult chews.

I take Centrum Adult Chews. They taste OK, but you have to take 4 of them a day - little round chews. I also went went Bariatric Advantage for the calcium chews, but as Fiddleman states their regular vitaminds are gross.
