JessM11 57 Posted April 29, 2014 I have cleared this with my surgeon and NUT. It's a liquid Multivitamin and absorbs better in your new stomach as opposed to the yucky chewable ones that are hard to keep down. I can say that I am SO glad I found it! I found it at GNC on sale (buy one get one half off). The guy at the counter let me sample it before I bought it and I was amazed. It's called "Sea Essentials" and the flavor I have is "sea berry". I Actually let my bariatric coordinator try it when I was out of surgery. She couldn't believe how good it tastes either and will now be recommending it to all her other patients. I think it's like $20 a bottle for 32oz, and so worth it!! Which is why I had to share with all of you:) I have heard too many of you talking about how disgusted you are with your multivitamin. Enjoy guys!! 7 mamaruss5, I'mPossible052614, casper510 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
healthyme1963 136 Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks for the suggestion. I'm definitely sick of my chewable. There is a GNC in my neighborhood, so I think I'll have to check into that today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLawre2 30 Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for sharing, I plan on trying it. I also have one to share they sell it at my surgeons office and online it's a powder mix they have 2 flavors, and a flavorless you can mix with anything it's made especially for bariatric patients. Look for it at barilife.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk if anyone here has been as bad as me but I'm 15 days post op, no Vitamins at all yet, I tried crushing them once and threw them up, too scared to swallow the pill. I will try this week to swallow them again since I do feel a bit weak, has anyone have this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will try this week to swallow them again since I do feel a bit weak, has anyone have this issue? My NUT told me I had to have liquid or chewable vitamins, I wasn't allowed pills. I like this better than any pill and will probably use it for life:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
