Gummy multi vitamin after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I looked at them just yesterday and was shocked at the fact that the serving size was 4. So, in order to get the Vitamins that are listed you have to eat 4 of them....definitely not worth the money...highway robbery! I'm 10 weeks out and still chomping on 2 flintstones every day lol. On another note, a friend gave me a couple Gummy Fiber chews and they weren't bad! I do need to figure out the Fiber thing...eh hem...

Good luck! hope you find something you can tolerate!

gummy vitamins are what were recommended by my surgeon. I have the vitafusion women's complete Multivitamin. Taste isn't bad and serving size is 2 gummies.< /p>

I have been taking VitaFusion MultiVites Gummy Vitamins since my surgery. They are approved by my surgeon. The serving size is 2 and has 15 calories and 3 carbs. My labs have been awesome and the few extra carbs did not slow down my weight loss. I met my first goal of 140 at 8.5 months. I am only 3 lbs away from my personal goal of 130 at almost 10 months out. I started taking them because I could not tolerate the chewables and I stayed with them because they are yummy. I can definitely go back to solid pills at this point if I choose.

Be sure to check with your surgeon before you start taking them. Good luck!

I take the gummies for the same reason - they don't bother my tummy so much. They aren't as good as real bariatric Vitamins but I am doing the best i can...

Did u take 2 a day, or 2 at a time? Did u take any B12, Iron, or Calcium with the gummys? Or did u you just take the gummy multivitamin?

Thanks everyone. It's so good to hear that I'm not the only one that can't chew up a pill! Lol.. Just the thought of it crumbling in my mouth grossest out! I'm going to buy multivitamin gummys tomorrow. Do y'all recommend anything else to take with? 7 days left an I keep thinking I'm forgetting something;)

I am trying EcoDrink. Got it at costco. It is like crystal light in that you mix with Water. It has 31 Vitamins, minerals. No calories, no carbs, no sugar. It has no Iron so that would need to be a seperate chewie. It has 30% of Calcium so I still need to take that chewie too. Comes in peach mango and bluberry pomegranate flavors. I like to mix both flavors. I think it tastes best with ice. Sweetened with Stevia. Comes with a shaker bottle that you can use or return to the company for six more packets.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
