What Type of Multi Vitamin Do You Take?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I was just wondering what type of Multi Vitamins everyone else in taking. Or do you take one at all?

Right now I am using Nature's Own Multi Vitamin Plus Fish Oil (Omega 3) it's OK but I am sure that there must be something better. I feel like it's not doing anything for me. Thanks for any advice in advance.

M y dietician suggested Supradyn when I went on my liquid stage and I've been taking it eversince along with my regular "glass" of Berocca first thing in the morning.

I took supradyn (I waited for it to go flat) for the first year, now I just take Cenovis women's multi, when I remember to take it that is.

Hi, the supradyn is not a complete multi, good for the first few weeks to get down but after that you need a better multi with more nutrients. I have been taking the Swiss Ultravite for women for years and find it to be great, I can tell from my energy levels whether I've forgotten it or not. It does go down, but you can break it in half if neccesary.

Large tablets, even broken in two, can be hard for a lot of bandsters to get down, so Supradyn is better than nothing.

I take a Vitamin that is in liquid for by a company called univera. The products are made from nautal plants. the ones I use are agless xtra and ageless essentials. this actually has stopped my Hair loss and I have quite a bit of energy.

Hey, I take Centrum broken in half every morning. I am also taking Biotin for my Hair loss. I have the thickest hair but have been losing it in clumps lately. I was told it should grow back normally once I have lost all my weight and it has stabilised.:)

I take Accomin liquid - 10mls a day.

I'm still in the liquid stage (12 days Post op), but I'm finding it pretty good - I started taking it 2 weeks pre band.

Start Weight: 136 kg's

Did you know that consumerlab.com tests supplements and can tell you which ones really have what they say they have? They found that almost all supplements of coq10 had NO or little CoQ10 in them. It's worth is in order to get what you pay for.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
