Recommended Posts

My doctor said its safe for me to start taking chewable vitamins what are the best brands that you recommend me to get I think he said something about a Multivitamin and a B12 if you can let me know what works great for you guys. also want to start taking something for my hair just in case it starts to get thin. I also have Vitamin chewable C is that okay to take also with the other Vitamins?

My program recommends Bariatric Advantage:

I can't comment on the taste because I take the pills. They are cheaper and calorie free. But I know many people have problems swallowing pills and prefer the chewables.< /p>

I use Celebrate chewable vitamins. Made for bariatric patients.

My surgeon also prefers the Bariatric Advantage Line. I take the chewable Multi-Vitamin RNY formula in berry. Their dissolvable b-12. The calcium citrate chewy bites in chocolate. The chewable Iron in passion fruit. I also take a chewable Biotin with folate from costco. We were given samples of a couple different companies. But these turned out to be my favorite. These break down to about $42 per month. My doctor said he preferred that our multi Vitamin was for bariatrics but on the other supplements he didn't mind if they were different. Just chewable and sugar free.< /p>

I did a poll a long time ago asking about the best tasting, and Celebrate came out on top. I had the first one on Thursday... not bad at all.

I was wondering about these. Did you try the chewable or "gummy" type?

I did not. I just had my surgery 8 days ago. I ordered the Celebrate about 2 weeks prior, and tried one, and it wasn't bad. My pre-op instructions said no supplements, and post-op, I'm supposed to wait 2 week more, so I haven't really had them on a daily basis yet.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
