I have been taking Bariatric Advantage vitiamins the ultra multi formula with Iron but was wondering if there is a over the counter one i could take that is the same but cheaper.

I have been taking over the counter Vitamins since about 2 months post-op. I do not have any trouble taking large pills although I do break any of them that I can, in half. I just could not afford $80 - $100 a month for Vitamins.

I now buy them mainly at Walgreens because they have BOGO free quite often on most of them. CVS also runs the same deals but I prefer Walgreens. I spend MUCH less for my vitamins now. LESS than half the cost. Be careful and read labels so that you do not lose anything along the way.

I just had all of my nutrients checked by the way and everything is within normal limits.

Good luck:)

I use opurity once a day bariatric sleeve chewable. They are approx $30 for 90 which is a 3 month supply. There are days when the taste is too much so I crush them and add them to my Protein Shake or yogurt, etc. They are only avail online.

I did a full comparison, and then talked to and showed my surgeon. The one that has everything needed and compared closest is the Centrum chewables. This has all the Vitamins and the Iron needed for bariatric patients, and it costs much less!!

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
