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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
