No more chewables! Tell me about your vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I bought the Unjury brand chewable Multivitamins and their calcium citrate Vitamins as well. Both taste like c*#p!

I wrote that I bought a certain brand of Vitamins and they tasted terrible and my original post was edited and changed. See above. Does Abbott labs own this site? Am I not allowed to give my honest opinion of their products???

Ya. What a bunch off nonsense. You type in the Abbott Labs labs brand Vitamin and it will change it to "medical quality protein" like above. Then you can link to their site to buy their disgusting Vitamins.

I get mine from HSN. I like them because they are capsules and I can open them and get to the powder if I need to. They are very gentle as I do not like taking Vitamins or horse pills. I don't feel like I can swallow them.

I've gotten the go ahead from my surgeon that I do not have to use chewable or liquid Vitamins anymore and I'm anxious to move on. I have about a month's worth left of my chewables so I have time to research and comparison shop.

I'm really interested in hearing from those of you who've had labs done already (I have not) and have good numbers.

What do you take? Would you be so kind to tell me the brand and where you get them? If you have a link to it that would be amazing!

Thanks!

with my dr okay, i get my Vitamins at Walmart

I agree, Rocky. I kinda just bought the first ones I saw. My surgeons office gave us a bunch of samples. I thought the Multivitamin was once a day with not other Vitamins. But, there's the Calcium too. I really dread those dang things. Anyway, I'm all ears on suggestions. The fewer times per day the better.

I'm a year out and sometimes the big Vitamins that are oblong get stuck sideways still. I opt for chewables for both my multi and my Calcium. Multi I take is called Spectrovite and tastes like an orange creamsicle. I buy CVS brand chewable calcium that tastes like a Gummy bear. As for other Vitamins, my 50,000IU Vitamin D is really small so I swallow that one, along with my Biotin.

This post was started a long time ago but I thought I would share what I use since I no longer take chewables. I cant even stand the taste of Flinestones Vitamins and the gummies hurt my teeth for some weird reason. I started taking a new Vitamin line about 1 month ago and so far love it. Its called Thrive by Le-vel, it also has a probiotic that is equal to 1600 cups of yogurt so for me its perfect! I had a baby almost 1 year ago and had a life threatening condition that caused me to lose a lot of blood and I became very anemic, so these Vitamins are exactly what I have been looking for. I literally cant swallow regular prenatal vitamins as the make me gag, but Thrive is small capsules, a mineral mix and wearable nutrition patch so I have zero issues with gagging!! Anyways just thought I would share and maybe this will help others. you can check it out at www.702layla.le-vel.com

Is anyone else doing the ProCare Health Bariactric capsules? It says once a day is all you need. Does that really work? I would love to go down to my multi just once a day. ????

      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.
