May 20th sleever here. multivitamin?

[Poppi610 9]

I'm post op surgery date is May 20th. Just wanted some recommendations on a good chewable Multivitamin. Thanks.

[rome 156]

I was recommended by my nutritionist Flinstones or the Generic brand of them chewable (not the gummy). More than likely because there aren't many "adult" chewable Multivitamins out there.

How many flinstone's or the Generic chewable do you take a day and what about the B12 and Vit C Iron and Calcium.

Thank You

Beth

I take the Trader Joe's High Potency chewable Multi -- lower in carbs, calories, and/or price than virtually all the other chewable multi's out there. I get my labs drawn regularly and they are always great.

Hi have you tried the Twin Lab Bariactric support chewable multivitamin they are great.

I second that. These have been a godsend.

I am in the pre-op phase and tried some chewy sample the nutritionist gave me and they are so delicious just like candies. The problem is after I tried one I got a strong craving for carbs.

I was told to take 2 chewables. I do not start Calcium and others if needed until after surgery. They will tell me at the post op appointment.

Are the trader joes bad tasting? I'm having surgery on 5/28 an I start my liquid diet on 5/14 an I'm supposed to start a chewable multivitamin but I'm skeptical about the bad tastes an throwing up

I like the trader joes ones just fine - no gassy after effects or bad aftertaste either. Good price too.

@@Krystal0528 I think the Trader Joe's ones taste fine. A little bit of a tangy taste, not like candy or anything. I've had zero problems tolerating them. I take one with Breakfast and one with dinner. With any multivitamin you definitely want to take it with food.< /p>

Thanks for all the feedback. New here and really like it. Very supportive and informative group.

They are way cheaper in the physical store (price varies a little, I think I pay $7.99 for a bottle of 90).
