Vitamins

[jeaniek 22]

I'm 4 weeks post op. Doing good BUT I can't get in all my Vitamins. I do the capsules better than the chewable. The Calcium is like chalk and the multi is not much better. Anyone else have problems? I think I'm just going to buy some new ones.

All my Vitamins are in Gummy form and the Calcium is in chocolate candy form. Its awesome.

Where do you get your Vitamins and Calcium

I'd suggest double checking with your surgeon or nutritionist first. It was STRONGLY recommended to me that I never take gummy vitamins. I was told chewable is best. Easiest to digest and for your body to absorb.

I bought 2 huge bottles of liquid Vitamins. I opened it up. Smelled the and gaged. I can't bring my self to drink them. Right now I have gummed. I least until this bottle is gone. Then I think I'll switch to prenatal ones.

If anyone wants liquid vitamins from GNC let me know.

I am 11 months post op, for along time I did only chewable Vitamins from Celebrate, then I got brave and did a bottle of prenatals and then went back to the petite Vitamins from Centrum and I am now deficiant in some of my vitamins. So I am guessing the chewables are the best for a gastric bypass patient, because we need those easily absorbable vitamins quicker than most. And capsules have to always be broken open and taken with food or Water. I hope this helps somewhat, its easy to try and find a cheaper Vitamin but in the end its not the results we hoped for unfortunately.
