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. ????

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
