I have been taking Centrum for years. However I just realized how big those pills are and that they may not be recommended after surgery. What kind are suggested?

I take a Celebrate Multivitamin and Calcium soft chew twice a day. The bariatric program at the hospital sells them for $15 each, also available on line for $10. No issues with swallowing these. The Multivitamin is very berry and the Calcium is caramel. Highly recommended.

My Dr office recommends Flintstones Complete and I am serious. I was taking Centrum chewables and these taste better.

I use the Trader Joe's High Potency chewables - one in the morning, one at night. They are cheaper and have fewer calories and carbs than the bariatric specialty chewables or the ones like Flintstones. I have my labs drawn regularly and my Vitamin and mineral levels are always excellent.

You can also go with the mini multivitamins if you want to.

I was specifically told not to centrums, one a day, Flintstones, or gummies. I have to do quality chewables for the first 3 months.
