[liguy 5]

I'm scheduled for surgery next week, and I was going to go shopping tomorrow. I wanted to know from your experiences which chewable Multivitamin, and Calcium supplements you took?

Good ole Fred Flintstone were recommended by my NUT.

I take (2) Vitafusion Multibite gummies. I was advised by my doctor to not take Calcium until I was 4 weeks out, then I took crushed up calcium citrate w/500 mg of calcium.

I take 2 Flinstones Complete (dark purple bottle or red box) a day. I will start Calcium at 5 wks so I haven't shopped for that yet. Good Luck!

Celebrate multi-vitamins (ordered on line and have it set up for auto reorder) & Kirkland Signature™ sugar-free calcium chews from costco.< /p>

Bariatric Advantage chewables for a Multivitamin and also their chewable calcium citrate. I purchased them at my doctor's office but they are available online, too.

For four weeks after surgery I took all liquid Multivitamins, Calcium and Iron - I used the Wellesse brand and ordered from Amazon. After that I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewable Multi (much cheaper than anything else I found, tastes great), Citracal petites, and regular iron supplements from the grocery store.

It's funny, all the special "bariatric" chewable supplements seem to be loaded up with calories and carbs and designed to reinforce a morbidly obese person's sweet tooth . . . plus they seem overpriced. I stay away from them.

Regarding Calcium supplements, the only ones that didn't make me want to barf were the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews. I love all 4 flavors. They have d3 and calcium in the chews.

I use Celebrate for all my Vitamins. My dr. strictly forbids using Flintstone's chewables.

My doctor strictly advised me against chewables that commonly contain harmful fillers like Flavonoids, Artificial Flavorings, and Red Dyes, Microcrystalline/Ethyl/Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose, Silicon/Titanium Dioxide etc that may cause severe harm to the body. I never dared to try chewables and have been taking capsules instead. They work great (in case they are from brands like Vita4Life which produces filler free capsules which I use) and should return good labs.
