Vitamin suggestions please! Thank you!

[Elizabeth21 176]

Hi All. I would appreciate suggestions for Vitamins. I got the Bariatric Advantage chewable and they are awful. So doctor said I could chop NatureMade for Her in half and take it. It makes me nauseous! Has anyone found a gentle, palatable multi-Vitamin and/or Iron supplement?? Thanks for your help!

Are you eating something first? I take Nature Made, they do not make me nauseous but I always eat something or drink a Protein Drink first.

I take Bariatric Advantage, but not the chewable I use the gel caps. They are rather large but I can swallow them and have been able to since two weeks out.

I did find thru trial and error that I have to take them after Breakfast and after lunch. I was at first taking them after Breakfast and dinner but I found I was waking up at night "tasting" the Vitamin. Yuck!! But now that I take them after breakfast and lunch no problems at night.

I take Trader Joe's high potency chewable Multi-Vitamin. For the first six months or so I took two a day (one in the morning, one at night) but since then just one a day. I've had no problems with it, it's inexpensive, low calorie and low carb. I have my labs drawn regularly and they have always been great.

@@Elizabeth21 Hi, the only ones I've found that don't make me deathly ill are the "natures plus" pineapple flavored Adults chewable Multi-Vitamin and mineral. I order the 180 count bottle off of the vitacost website.

I take and love Flintstone chewables. They come in 4 different flavors, and are really good to me.

I'm using Doterra's life long vitality all the Vitamins needed plus fish oil no other suppliments needed

I use the Celebrate Multivitamin, it does particularly taste good, but it is the best that I have found and it is super packed with Vitamins.

You don't have issues swallowing them? How soon after surgery did you take them? Thank you

@@mermaiddreams I'm 10 days post op I just started them today. I didn't have any issues but I took them 1 at a time waiting a little bit in between and I'm only doing 2 a day for now

! ! Yep yep they are great. I also take in Iron suppliments as well as b complex and Calcium citrate along with vit d. Im at the stage I no longer have to crush pills so this all works for me and I have always take. The Flinstones Vitamins even as a child 2 for an adult contain the same as any other multiple Vitamin.

P.s. The nut advises against any of the gummie ones as they often don't do well for sleevers. I didn't try because I didn't want to find out they didn't work for me the hard way. Lol

Try bariatricfusion.com. They have a complete multi with Iron and calcium citrate in them so it's the only one you have to take and you don't have to take additional iron or Vitamin D or anything like that.

Oh and there's optisource post bariatric surgery chewable a too. I tried those first. They're not bad and you can buy them at Walgreens. ????

I too am taking the Flintstone chewables per my surgeon. They do not upset my stomach, but i always wait until i have had breakfast or at least a protien shake to take one. He has the women take the chewable with Iron.< /p>
