Need Vitamin advise

[shorty54 33]

I would like to know what everyone has for advise on Vitamins. The doc. office "recommended" fusion chewable, and I think that was 3 a day. I am having no problems with taking a pill so would like to find a one a day pill. Who's using what ?

Hey there....

This may sound funny but it was in my packet of info when I started this a year ago. The doc says in this booklet that kids chewables works too but then you have to get a Calcium to go with it. So I take my Flintstones everyday, the gummie ones and now I need to get a calcium. When I saw him this past Wednesday he said that was fine so ???? I had gone to GNC and gotten some chewable for women and OMG it was tooooo sweet for me it made me gag when I smelled it. So that was out and when I re-read my book I saw the suggestion so I jumped at Flintstones....lol

My nutritionist says I can't have any Gummy Vitamins after surgery. I bought some before I found out so I've been taking them just to use them up before surgery. I'm going to take Centrum chewables after the surgery, as well as Calcium plus Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.< /p>

I can't stand the smell when I open my vitamin bottle either so I've gotten in the habit of pointing the top of the bottle away from me when I open it. Seems to help a little bit.

I used chewables for the first few months for bigger pills, Centrum chewable multi, Citrical calcium chews several times per day, Biotin dissolavable, Iron, D3 and B12 chewables. After about 3 months when the chewables ran out, I just started buying the standard supplements at Walmart per the advice of my bariatric nurse coordinator who is a 13 year survivor of gastric bypass. Still take, D3, B12, Biotin, Calcium slow release and iron slow release iron in addition to the Multivitamin, but swallow them all now.
